Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The first pair is (-4 and 8)

Because if we add those two values, i. e., 8 + (-4), we will get 4.

Again, the second pair is (-2 and 6). In that case, if we also add those two values, that is, 6 + (-2), we will get 4.

Finally, the third pair is (-1 and 5). Again, we will add the two values. 5 + (-1) = 4.

In each case, we can see that the addition of each pair is 4.Therefore, the total is similar in each pair after arranging the cards.
