Adding Positive and Negative Numbers

The result is negative. Adding two negative numbers always yields a negative sum.

The sum of 6 and 12 is 18.

To calculate the sum, subtract the absolute value of the negative number from the positive number: 50 - 8 = 42.

The final temperature is -6⁰C. You subtract 10 from 4, resulting in -6.

The result is negative. In this case, 8 - 9 = -1.

A positive number is any number greater than zero.

A negative number is any number less than zero.

Adding zero to a number does not change the value of that number.

The sum of two positive numbers is always positive.

The result depends on the absolute values of the numbers; if the positive number is larger, the result is positive, and if the negative number is larger, the result is negative.
