The answer will be a negative number since there is more of the negative number than there is the positive number. Or in other words, you are going to the left of a number line more than you are moving to the right. The result would be -4.

The answer will be negative because as you can see the number with the biggest number is the negative one. anyway your answer is negative 4 ( -4)
