Question

Add without using a number line.

$\left(-29\right)+\left(13\right)$

Answer 1

To add two integers of opposite signs, you need to find the difference in their absolute values and put the sign of the one with the greater absolute value.

Here,$\left(-29\right)$ and $\left(13\right)$are of opposite signs.

We find differences in their absolute values.

Hence,

$$\begin{gathered} =\left(-29\right)+\left(13\right) \\ =-29+13 \\ =-16 \end{gathered}$$ (Rule: Multiplication of signs $+$ and $-$ is $-$ )

Therefore, $\left(-29\right)+\left(13\right)=-16$
