Answer:

Yes, 3 + (-4) is the same as -4 + 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

When doing addition problems such as this, the order of the numbers does not matter, even when negative numbers are included.
For example, 1 + 2 or 2 + 1 would equal 3.

3 + (-4) = -1
-4 + 3 = -1

Hope this helped you! Let me know if you need more clarification. :)
