Because all the negative numbers added up is -20 And the positive numbers added up is 25 then add -2225 and you get five

Answer:

Tips to Add Negative and Positive Numbers:

1.) Adding a negative number to a positive number is subtracting it.

example: 5 + (-3) = 5 - 3

2.) Adding a positive number to a smaller negative number is subtracting the smaller number by the larger one.

example: -3 + 5 = 5 - 3

3.) Adding a positive number to a larger negative number is having the positive number subtracted by the larger negative.

example: -5 + 3 = 3 - 5 (but the final answer needs a negative sign)

4.) Adding a negative number to another negative number is adding the numbers together, but with a negative sign in the final calculation.

example: -3 + (-2) = 3 + 2 (but the final answer needs a negative sign)

5.) I think you know how to add two positive numbers

(I know the wording of the tips can be confusing, so make sure to look at the examples if you don't understand)
