  • Question
  • Negative plus a positive equals


  • Options
  • A. negative
  • B. positive
  • C. zero
  • D. Can't be determined

  • Correct Answer
  • Can't be determined 

    Explanation

    We know that a negative value plus a positive value always count backward and the sign depends on the bigger value sign.

    When you are adding a negative number to a positive number, then the value counts backward and takes the sign of the biggest number.

     

    For example::

    Adding -5 and +2

    -5 + 2 = -3 (big number is 5 and its sign is '-')

     

    Adding -3 and  +5

    +5 + (-3) = 5 - 3 = +2(big number is 5 and it has sign '+').
