Please help!!!!! (worth 45 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

5 + (-5) and 8 + (-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of zero means when you add them you get 0

so the others are wrong

-5 + (-5) = -10 because you have -5 and you add another -5

-12 + (-12) = -24 you start with -12 and you add another -12

Think of positive and negative numbers like floors in a building. Positive numbers are the stories and the negative numbers are the basement and sub-basement, zero is the ground level. So for 5 + (-5) you go up 5 floors, then you go down 5 floors. you end up on the ground level, 0.
