Full solution

Q. Simplify.\newline(16)+17= (-16) + 17 = \square
  1. Addition of Numbers: To solve the problem, we need to add the two numbers together. Since one is negative and the other is positive, we will essentially be subtracting the smaller number from the larger one.\newlineCalculation: (16)+17(-16) + 17
  2. Recognizing Greater Value: We recognize that 1717 is greater than 1616, so when we combine a negative 1616 with a positive 1717, the negative value is subtracted from the positive value.\newlineCalculation: 1716=117 - 16 = 1
  3. Subtraction Calculation: The result of the calculation is therefore 11, which is a positive number because the larger number (1717) was positive.\newlineFinal Answer: 11
