Khalil says that any time two numbers are the same distance from 0, their sum will be zero. Marius disagrees. "Sometimes the sum will be positive, but sometimes it will be negative."​

Answer:

Marius is right.

Explanation:

So although what Khalil said could be correct, they didn't say it right. It would be any two numbers the same distance from 0 going the opposite ways, which means that if you had 3 on one side, you would have -3 on the other side. BUt since Khalil said it wrong, he's basically saying that you can do 3+3 because they're both the same distance away from 0. or you could do (-3)+(-3)=-6 which would still work because they're the same distance away from 0. So unless you just skipped on that part while typing the question, Marius is correct.
