Howdy! My name is Christian and I’ll try and help you with this question!

Answer:

When the posiotive varibale is greater then the negative, the answer will be positive, when the negative variable is greater than the positive, the answer will be negative.

Explanation:

When adding a positive and a negative it could be either positve or negative ouput. If you had -50 and you added +60 the ouput is 10.

But if you had +50 and you added -60 the output would be -10.

Hope this helps you with your question!

Sincerely,

Christian
