Chapter 1: Problem 24

Find each sum without the use of a number line. $$13+(-5)$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The sum is 8.

Step by step solution

01

Rewrite the expression

Rewrite the equation 13 + (-5) as 13 - 5. This is possible because adding a negative number is equivalent to subtracting that number's absolute value.
02

Subtract the numbers

Now, just subtract 5 from 13. This step is a basic operation of arithmetic.
