Left Column:
1.
8 + (-6)
Adding a negative is like subtracting: 8 - 6 =
2
2.
0 + 10
Zero plus anything is just that number:
10
3.
(-9) + (-3)
Two negatives added together make a bigger negative: -9 - 3 =
-12
4.
6 + (-4)
Again, adding negative is subtraction: 6 - 4 =
2
5.
8 + 1
Simple addition:
9
6.
6 + 6
Double 6:
12
7.
0 + (-2)
Zero plus negative two is just
-2
8.
(-9) + 4
Start at -9, move up 4: -9 + 4 =
-5
9.
6 + 1
Easy:

Start at -1, add 6 → -1 + 6 =
5
4.
6 + (-4)
Same as left column #4:
2
5.
3 + 5
Simple:
8
6.

Two negatives: -5 - 4 =
-9
7.
(-2) + 8
Start at -2, add 8 → -2 + 8 =
6
8.
(-7) + 3
Start at -7, add 3 → -7 + 3 =
-4
9.
