QuestionWhat is the value of the expression: $-8 + -8 + 9$ ?

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are given the expression -8 + -8 +9. We need to find the value of this expression3. The operation of addition is associative, meaning that the way in which the numbers are grouped does not change the result. Therefore, we can add the numbers in any order.

STEP 2

First, we can add the first two numbers, -8 and -8.
$-8 + -8 = -16$

STEP 3

Now, we can add the result from the previous step (-16) to the last number in the expression (9).
$-16 +9$

STEP 4

Calculate the final value of the expression.
$-16 +9 = -7$ The value of the expression is -7.
