Question

Find the sum of 137 and -354.

Answer 1

Hint: In order to solve this question, we will use the fact that when a number x is added with a negative number –y then their sum is x – y. This will eventually help us reach the answer.

Complete step-by-step answer:

We have been given the numbers 137 and -354.

When we add them, we get,

137 + (-354)

multiplication of + and - will be (-) So,

$ \Rightarrow $ 135 – 354 = -219

Hence, the sum of 137 and -354 is -219. 

Note: Whenever we face such types of problems the key point to remember is that we need to have a good grasp over addition and subtraction of numbers. In these questions we should always use the brackets with negative numbers.
