Although it definitely works for this example, it won't always work out that way! You can think of it like the positives are steps to the right, negatives are steps to the left. (-2) + 4 + 8 + (-4) How many steps in each direction? Right (positive): 4 + 8 = 12 Left (negative): (-2) + (-4) = -6 Then, imagine starting at 0 on a number line. You take 12 steps to the right, then 6 to the left. So you end at positive 6. But, if it was (-10) + 2 + 5 + (-1) Right (positive): 2 + 5 = 7 Left (negative): (-10) + (-1) = -11 So, 7 steps to the right of 0. Then 11 steps to the left. This ends us at -4 on the number line. So you could give a positive or negative in that case. Great question! Hope this helps 🙏🏻
Sir is it enough if I practice all the maths from your videos only for the GED test???Please reply...And do you have more past questions for practicing??
You’ll definitely pass if you practice all the math from these videos! After you watch each video, you can practice similar questions on my website: GetSumMath.com 🙏🏼
