Explanation:

Adding A Negative Number

Now let's see what adding and subtracting negative numbers looks like:

add subtract +- goes down

We can add weights (we are adding negative values)

the basket gets pulled downwards (negative)

Example: 6 + (−3) = 3

is really saying

"Positive 6 plus Negative 3 equals Positive 3"

We could write it as (+6) + (−3) = (+3)
