Question 9 of 34
Add: $-16+15$
$-16+15=$ $\square$ (Type an integer.)
Solution
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.
