Answer:

A.

C.

Explanation:

A. When adding a negative number to a positive, you subtract. 2.3 - 2.3 will equal 0.

B. When adding two negative numbers, you get an even smaller negative number. (-3.7) + (-4.1) = -7.8

C. When subtracting a negative number, the two negative signs become a positive. -12/4 is equal to 3. -2.6 + 3 is 0.4, which is positive.

D. 5/2 is the same as 2.5. If you subtract 2.5 from 2.5, you will get 0, which is not negative.

E. Two negative signs make a positive, so 72 + 100 is positive, not negative.
