Understanding Basic Arithmetic Operations

The video tutorial demonstrates how to properly grid mathematical problems on a griddable. It covers three examples: adding integers, multiplying decimals, and dividing integers. Each example is explained step-by-step, highlighting the importance of understanding signs, decimal placement, and gridding techniques. The tutorial emphasizes the correct way to represent positive and negative results on a griddable, ensuring accuracy in mathematical representation.

What is the first step in solving the problem -16 + 24?
