Simplify:
(1) 16 + (−5)
(1) 16 + (−5)
Open in App
Solution
16 + (–5)
Ignoring the signs, we will find the difference of the magnitudes by subtracting the smaller number from the bigger one.
16 – 5 = 11
The result will have the same sign as that of the number with the greater magnitude.
∴ 16 + (–5) = 11
