Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] - 16 + 2[/tex]
Think of -16 as a debt . Lets say you are owing someone $16
Think of +2 as the amount of money with you that hasn't been spent.
Now let's put the story together.
You are owing someone $16 and you pay the person $2(the only money you have on you ).
Definitely, you will still be owing the person and amount of $14
[tex]16 - 2 = 14[/tex]
And remember - means owing
+ means you're paying or you're having
So that means you're owing $14
So the answer = -14
