Hey there!

Guide #1:

• The word “sum” means “add” or “total” especially in mathematics.

Guide #2:

• Negative & negative = Positive

• Positive & negative = Negative

• Positive & positive = Positive

• Negative & positive = Negative

Guide #3:

• Positives are on the RIGHT side of the number line

• Negatives are on the LEFT side of the number line

Guide #4:

• Negatives are BELOW zero

• Positives are ABOVE zero

Side note:

• Now that we have those guides out of the way we can answer your given question.

Random fact:

• We are ADDING -75 & 105 from each other.

Solving:

• Usually, the result takes the value of the BIGGER answer so this means that your result will be a positive because 105 is positive & it is bigger

• You start from -75 and you go UP 105 spaces to your RIGHT and that will be your answer

° -75 + 105

° = 30

Therefore, your answer is: 30

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
