Question

How do you solve -5+-3?

Answer 1

Hello there!

In order to solve integers we would need a number with both, positives and negatives

Remember this method it MIGHT help you out with your assignments like these


`negative + negative = positive \\ \\ positive + negative = negative \\ \\ positive + positive = positive \\ \\ negative + positive = negative`


We have
`two`
`negatives` in this problem, so this means our answer would be a
`positive/negative` result

So,
`-5 + -3 = -8`

Therefore your
`answer` would be:
`-8`

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day/night

Answer 2

- 5 + -3 = -8

hope this helps


when a negative number adds a negative number, it will be negative

when a negative number adds a positive number, whichever number (either positive or negative) take the sign of the bigger one

For example:

-4 + 3 = -1

-5 + 10 = 5
