Capitolo 1, Problema 11
Find each sum or difference. See Example 1. -6 + (-13)
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the operation: The problem asks to find the sum of -6 and -13, which means we are adding two negative numbers.
Recall that adding two negative numbers results in a more negative number. So, we add their absolute values and keep the negative sign.
Calculate the absolute values: | -6 | = 6 and | -13 | = 13.
Add the absolute values: 6 + 13 = 19.
Attach the negative sign to the result: The sum is -19.
