Q. Is −85+1-85 + 1 positive or negative?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)positive\newline(B)negative
  1. Check Signs: Check the signs of the numbers: −85-85 is negative, 11 is positive, they got different signs.
  2. Find Bigger Absolute Value: Figure out which number is bigger in absolute value: ∣−85∣|-85| is 8585, ∣1∣|1| is 11, so −85-85 is bigger.
  3. Determine Sum Sign: Since −85-85 has a bigger absolute value and it's negative, the sum will be negative.
  4. Calculate Sum: So, −85+1-85 + 1 equals −84-84, which is negative. Choose (B)negative.
