-16+2= Show the steps to solve.Separate each step with a comma

Answer 1

Answer:

-14

Step-by-step explanation:

$- 16 + 2$

Think of -16 as a debt . Lets say you are owing someone $16

Think of +2 as the amount of money with you that hasn't been spent.

Now let's put the story together.

You are owing someone $16 and you pay the person $2(the only money you have on you ).

Definitely, you will still be owing the person and amount of $14

$16 - 2 = 14$

And remember - means owing

+ means you're paying or you're having

So that means you're owing $14

So the answer = -14
