Answer:

-1.3

Explanation:

you can ignore this + in this question. In mathematics we write it as

4.6 + -5.9

It says + a negative number, which is almost like saying "I am going outside with without my jacket..." And that means I go outside without it. The same goes here...

In mathematics the rule is (+ * - ) = -

4.6 - 5.9 = -1.3

EXTRA:

Whenever you are dealing with negative numbers, you can think of the numbers as if it is about temperatures...

Suppose you have a temperature of 4.6 degrees and then it gets colder with an "amount" of 5.9 degrees. This of course accounts for a negative temperature of 1.3 degrees... ( because 4.6 + 1.3 = 5.9)

So - 1.3
