2) What is 7 + 9?

Explanation

The correct answer is obtained by adding 7 and 9 together, which equals 16.

Submit
3) What is the result of (-15 + 7)?

Explanation

The correct answer is -8 because when you add a negative number (-15) and a positive number (7), you need to subtract the smaller number from the larger number and keep the sign of the larger number.

Submit
4) What is the result of (-4 + 8)?

Explanation

When adding a negative number to a positive number, you will always subtract the absolute value of the negative number from the positive number. In this case, -4 + 8 equals 4.

Submit
5) What is the result of (-12 + 12)?

Explanation

When you add a negative number and its positive counterpart, they cancel each other out resulting in zero.

Submit
6) What is the result of 7-11?

Explanation

Subtracting 11 from 7 results in -4. The result is negative because 11 is greater than 7, making the difference negative.

Submit
7) What is the result of 10 + (-6)?

Explanation

When adding a positive and a negative number, we subtract the absolute value of the smaller number from the absolute value of the larger number and keep the sign of the number with the larger absolute value, in this case 10. Therefore, 10 + (-6) = 4.

Submit
8) What is -10 + (-3)?

Explanation

When adding two negative numbers, the result will be a negative number. In this case, -10 + (-3) equals -13.

Submit
9) What is the result of 8 + (-9)?

Explanation

When adding a positive number to a negative number with the same absolute value, the result is determined by the sign of the number with the greater absolute value. In this case, 9 is greater than 8, so the result is negative.

Submit
10) What is 12 - (-3)?

Explanation

Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding its positive counterpart. Therefore, 12 - (-3) is equal to 12 + 3, which equals 15.

Submit
11) What is the result of (-9 - 7)?

Explanation

When subtracting a negative number, it is equivalent to adding the positive value. In this case, -9 - 7 is equal to -9 + (-7) which gives the correct answer of -16.

Submit
12) What is the result of (-3-6)?

Explanation

To solve this expression, simply subtract 6 from -3 to get -9.

Submit
13) What is the result of 6 + (-11)?

Explanation

To find the sum of a positive number and a negative number, you subtract the absolute value of the smaller number from the absolute value of the larger number and keep the sign of the larger number. In this case, 6 is larger than 11, so subtract the absolute value of 11 from the absolute value of 6: |6| - |11| = 11 - 6 = 5. Since 6 is positive, the result is -5.

Submit
14) What is the result of 6-11?

Explanation

Subtracting 11 from 6 results in -5. When subtracting a larger number from a smaller number, the result is negative.

Submit
15) What is -12 minus 5?

Explanation

To find the result of -12 minus 5, you simply subtract 5 from -12 which gives you -17.

Submit
16) What is the result of (-12 + (-12))?

Explanation

When adding two negative numbers, we add their magnitudes and keep the negative sign. Therefore, -12 + (-12) = -24.

Submit
17) What is the result of 15-19?

Explanation

Subtracting 19 from 15 gives a result of -4.

Submit
18) What is the result of (-5-6-(-2))?

Explanation

To solve this expression, first remove the parentheses by multiplying -1 with -2 to get +2. Then, perform the subtraction from left to right to get -5 -6 -2 = -11, which is the correct answer.

Submit
19) What is the result of (-5-(-5))?

Explanation

When subtracting a negative number, it is equivalent to adding the positive value. Therefore, -5-(-5) can be simplified to -5+5, which is equal to 0.

Submit
20) What is the result of (-4 - (-2))?

Explanation

When subtracting a negative number, it is equivalent to adding the positive value. Therefore, -4 - (-2) is the same as -4 + 2, which equals -2.
