Find each sum or difference. See Example 1. 13 + (-4)

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Recognize that the problem involves adding a positive number and a negative number, which is equivalent to subtraction.

Rewrite the expression \(13 + (-4)\) as \(13 - 4\) to simplify the operation.

Subtract the smaller number from the larger number: calculate \(13 - 4\).

Determine the sign of the result based on the larger absolute value; since 13 is positive and greater than 4, the result will be positive.

Write the final expression for the sum or difference as the positive result obtained from the subtraction.
