QuestionCalculate the sum of -92 and -88: $-92 + (-88)$ .

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are adding two negative numbers -92 and -88.

STEP 2

When we add two negative numbers, we actually end up adding their absolute values and then attaching a negative sign to the result. This is because adding negative numbers moves us further to the left on the number line.
$-92 + (-88) = - (92 +88)$

STEP 3

Now, we add the absolute values of the numbers.
$- (92 +88) = - (180)$

STEP 4

Finally, we attach the negative sign to the result.
$- (180) = -180$ So, the result of adding -92 and -88 is -180.
