Chapter 1: Problem 12

Find each sum without the use of a number line. $$15+(-15)$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The sum of \(15\) and \(-15\) is \(0\).

Step by step solution

01

Identify the numbers

The two numbers involved in the operation are \(15\) (positive) and \(-15\) (negative).
02

Perform the operation

Adding a negative number to a positive one essentially means subtracting the absolute value of the negative number from the positive number. So, the required operation becomes \(15-15\).
03

Compute the result

Upon performing the subtraction, we obtain \(0\).
