What is 3 + (-7)

• -10 because you add their absolute values and keep the sign of the bigger absolute value

• -4 because you subtract their absolute values and keep the sign of the bigger absolute value

• 4 because you subtract their absolute values and keep the sign of the smaller absolute value

• 10 because you add their absolute values and keep the sign of the smaller absolute value

What is -12 + 20

• 32 because you add their absolute values and keep the sign of the bigger absolute value

• 8 because you subtract their absolute values and keep the sign of the bigger absolute value

• -8 because you subtract their absolute values and keep the sign of the smaller absolute value

• -32 because you add their absolute values and keep the sign of the smaller absolute value

What is -33 + (-44)

• -77 because you add their absolute values and give it a negative sign since they're both negative

• 77 because two negatives make a positive

• -11 because you subtract their absolute values and keep the sign of the bigger absolute value

• 11 because you subtract their absolute values and two negatives make a positive

What is -15 + (-30)

• -45 because you add their absolute values and give it a negative sign since they're both negative

• 45 because two negatives make a positive

• 52 because you add them like normal

-14 - (-15)

• 29 because you can change it to 14 + 15

• 1 because you can change it to -14 + 15

• -26 because you can change it to 9 - 35

What is the rule for adding two negatives?

• You add them like normal

• You add them like normal and then give the sum a negative sign

• You subtract the absolute values

• You add their absolute values and keep it positive
