Question

-127 + -242 =

Explanation:

Step1: Add the two negative numbers

To add two negative numbers, we add their absolute values and keep the negative sign. The absolute value of \(-127\) is \(127\) and the absolute value of \(-242\) is \(242\). So we calculate \(127 + 242\).
\(127+242 = 369\)

Step2: Apply the negative sign

Since both numbers are negative, the sum will be negative. So \(-127+(-242)=-(127 + 242)=-369\)

Answer:

\(-369\)
