Question

1. add $71 + (-121)$.

-192
192
50
-50

Explanation:

Step1: Recall addition of integers

Adding a negative number is like subtracting its absolute value. So, \( 71 + (-121) = 71 - 121 \).

Step2: Perform the subtraction

Calculate \( 71 - 121 \). Since \( 121 - 71 = 50 \), and we are subtracting a larger number from a smaller one, the result is negative. So, \( 71 - 121 = -50 \).

Answer:

-50 (The option corresponding to -50, which is the last option in the list: "−50")
