Answer: 7 + (-3) equals to 4

Step-by-step explanation:You have to start with the number in the parenthesis and the pls sign. A negative multiplied by a positive would give you a negative, so positive 1 multiplied by -3 equals to -3. Now the equation is 7 - 3, and the answer equals to 4.

Answer:

4

Explanation:

7+(-3)= 4

the subtraction sign takes over the addition sign

a fun way to remember is when you subtract a negative just take the two subtraction signs and they create and addition sign. when you are adding a negative, think as is you are taking one of the lines away becauze +(-) = negative. and addition plus addition is equal to addition
