-16+16 is 0 because if you have 16 items in your hand and you take away 16 which is -16 your going to have 0 it would be different if you have -15+16 the answer will be 1 because your taking away 15 from the 16 that you have.

-16+16=0
A negative number and a positive number cancel each other out.

The equation is basically 16-16, which is 0 as well.
