Answer:

2B

3D

Explanation:

2A is

a/b + -a/-b = a/b + a/b = 2a/b

this is NOT 0/0. you can't add numerator and denominator. when you have the same denominator, you can only add the numerator.

and don't forget : -×- and -/- are both + !

2B

you do not multiply anything. you ADD (but again NOT the denominators) !

and +×- or +/- = - !

overall this this adding a negative number to the same positive number. the result : always 0

2C

cannot be added like that. first you would have to bring both to a common denominator. but then you ADD !

2D

very similar to 2C.

3

5 + 7 = 12

5 - 6 = -2

these are the 2 integers 7 units away from 5.
