Answer:

the answer is -4

Explanation:

First you have to determine which sign is bigger. The number 8 is greater than 4 so we have to use the negative sign. now we can subtract or add. eight minus or plus four is four or twelve. so if we add or subtract the negative sign and the number four together we will get negative four or twelve. This is how you get the sum for negative four and eight. Hope this helps!
