In complete sentences, explain to Jessica what rule
she would use to solve this problem and how she
can tell what the sign on her final answer should
be in order to get the question correct on her quiz.

Answer 1

Explanation:

-29 +14 =-15

If you have this exercise :

-14 +29 =15

The biggest number has "+" in front of it
