Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are dealing with integers. . The operation to be performed is addition.
3. The numbers to be added are -1 and -.

STEP 2

We need to add the two numbers. In this case, both numbers are negative. When adding two negative numbers, we add their absolute values and then attach a negative sign to the result.
$-1 + (-2) = -(1 +2)$

STEP 3

Now, add the absolute values of the numbers.
$1 +2 =3$

STEP 4

Attach a negative sign to the result.
$-1 + (-2) = -3$ So, -1 added to -2 equals -3.
