How do you solve -5+-3?

- 5 + -3 = -8

when a negative number adds a negative number, it will be negative

when a negative number adds a positive number, whichever number (either positive or negative) take the sign of the bigger one

For example:

-4 + 3 = -1

-5 + 10 = 5

Hello there!

In order to solve integers we would need a number with both, positives and negatives

Remember this method it MIGHT help you out with your assignments like these

[tex]negative + negative = positive \\ \\ positive + negative = negative \\ \\ positive + positive = positive \\ \\ negative + positive = negative [/tex]

We have [tex]two [/tex] [tex]negatives [/tex] in this problem, so this means our answer would be a [tex]positive/negative [/tex] result

So, [tex]-5 + -3 = -8 [/tex]

Therefore your [tex]answer[/tex] would be: [tex]-8[/tex]

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day/night
