Answer 1

To find the value of 135 + (−63) + (−13), first add the negative numbers and then combine that result with the positive number, yielding a final answer of 59. Therefore correct option is B

Step-by-step explanation:

When adding integers, follow these rules:

1. When two positive numbers add, the answer has a positive sign. For example, 3 + 2 = 5.
2. When two negative numbers add, the answer has a negative sign. For example, -4 + (-2) = -6.
3. When two numbers with opposite signs add, subtract the smaller number from the larger number and use the sign of the larger number. For example, -5 + 3 = -2.

Applying these rules, we can solve 135 + (-63) + (-13) as follows:

135 + (-63) = 72

72 + (-13) = 59

Therefore, the value of 135 + (-63) + (-13) is 59.
