Q. Is 5+(−8)5 + (-8) positive or negative?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)positive\newline(B)negative
  1. Signs of Numbers: 55 is positive, and −8-8 is negative. They have different signs.
  2. Subtract to Find Sum: To find the sum, subtract the smaller number from the larger number: 8−5=38 - 5 = 3.
  3. Determine Sign of Sum: Since −8-8 has a larger absolute value, the sum will have the same sign as −8-8, which is negative.
  4. Calculate Final Result: So, 5+(–8)=–35 + (–8) = –3, which is negative.
