Question

find -18 + (-67). show your work.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall addition of integers rule

When adding a positive number and a negative number, we can rewrite the expression as subtraction. So, \(-18 + (-67)\) is equivalent to \(-18 - 67\) (because adding a negative is the same as subtracting the positive).

Step2: Perform the subtraction (or addition of negatives)

We add the absolute values of the two numbers and keep the negative sign. The absolute value of \(-18\) is \(18\) and the absolute value of \(-67\) is \(67\). So, \(18 + 67 = 85\), and since both numbers are negative, the result is \(-85\).

Answer:

\(-85\)
