Question

(01.01 MC)Why is 2 + (−3) equal to −1

Answer 1

2+(-3) = -1

2- 3 = -1

-1=-1

The question is why though ?

It is because you keep the negative exponent which is with the biggest number. So this is how its look like +2 -3, so 3 is bigger then 2 so for that reason you keep the negative sign.

I hope that's help:)

Answer 2

In a number line, 2-2=0 and then subtract 1 which gives you -1 as you answer.
