Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the numbers to add

We are given the expression \(-16 + 15\). Here, \(-16\) is a negative integer, and \(15\) is a positive integer.

Step 2: Perform the addition

When adding a negative number and a positive number, subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value and assign the sign of the number with the larger absolute value.

  • The absolute value of \(-16\) is \(16\).
  • The absolute value of \(15\) is \(15\).
  • Since \(16 > 15\), the result will have the sign of \(-16\), which is negative.
  • Subtract: \(16 - 15 = 1\).
  • Assign the negative sign: \(-1\).

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{-1} \]
