Let’s go through each problem one by one. I’ll solve them carefully and check my work.
---
1. (-5) + 7 = ?
Start at -5, move 7 steps right → -5 + 7 =
2
2. (-27) + (-12) = ?
Adding two negatives: add their absolute values, keep negative sign → -27 -12 =
-39
3. 27 - (-2) = ?
Subtracting a negative is like adding → 27 + 2 =
29
4. 14 + (-8) = ?
14 minus 8 →
6
5. (-9) + (2) = ?
Start at -9, move 2 right → -9 + 2 =
-7
6. 33 + 9 = ?
Simple addition →
42
7. 6 + (-9) = ?
6 minus 9 →
-3
8. 28 - 3 = ?
Simple subtraction →
25
9. (-10) + (-2) = ?
Add negatives → -10 -2 =
-12
10. -9 + 13 = ?
Start at -9, move 13 right → 4 →
4
11. (-5) + (-10) = ?
Add negatives → -5 -10 =
-15
12. 18 - (-2) = ?
Subtracting negative → 18 + 2 =
20
13. (-9) + (-4) = ?
Add negatives → -9 -4 =
-13
14. (-6) + (-9) = ?
Add negatives → -6 -9 =
-15
15. 2 + (-5) = ?
2 minus 5 →
-3
16. 8 + 16 = ?
Simple addition →
24
17. (-1) + 8 = ?
Start at -1, move 8 right →
7
18. (-3) + (-2) = ?
Add negatives → -3 -2 =
-5
19. (-2) + (-2) = ?
Add negatives → -2 -2 =
-4
20. 5 - (-1) = ?
Subtracting negative → 5 + 1 =
6
21. (-9) + 3 = ?
Start at -9, move 3 right →
-6
22. (-6) + (-5) = ?
Add negatives → -6 -5 =
-11
