Question

What is the value -134+53

Answer 1

-81

Explanation:

You subtract the absolute values and take the sign of the larger absolute value.

Absolute value is the distance from zero. This will be a positive number

134 - 53 = 81

The sign will be negative because the sign of the higher absolute value number is negative. 134 has a larger absolute value than 53 and it is negative, so our answer is negative.
