40 POINTS ;Find the sum of -2 and -5. Then, in two or more complete sentences, explain the steps you used to add the mixed numbers.

Respuesta :

The sum of -2 and -5 is -7.

I found the sum of -2 and -5 by subtracting the two numbers. Since both numbers are negative, the equation would be set up as -2-5. This is like solving 5+2 which is 7, but just add the negative sign in front of the answer.

Answer:

-5 - -2 would be -3 :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Its negative because 2 is less than 5, so you cant take 5 out of it.
