Answer 1

The value of your hand in the Integer game, when the first two selected cards are -7 and -5, is -12.

Step-by-step explanation:

When playing the Integer game, the value of your hand is the sum of the two cards you selected, -7 and -5. To find the sum, you can add the numbers together:

1. Add the digits in the ones place: 7 + 5 = 12
2. The sum has a negative sign because both numbers are negative.
3. Write the sum as -12.

So, the value of your hand is -12.
