Question

743 + (-242) =
-28 + 453 =

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate \(743 + (-242)\)

When adding a positive number and a negative number, we can rewrite it as subtraction: \(743+(-242)=743 - 242\).
\(743-242 = 501\)

Step2: Calculate \(-28 + 453\)

When adding a negative number and a positive number, we can rewrite it as subtraction: \(-28 + 453=453 - 28\).
\(453-28 = 425\)

Answer:

For \(743+(-242)\), the answer is \(501\); for \(-28 + 453\), the answer is \(425\)
