Question

Find the sum of $-73,27,-103$ and $-123$.

Answer 1

Find the sum of the given numbers

We are given numbers, $-73,27,-103$ and $-123$

Combining like terms, add up all the negative numbers.

$=(-73)+(-103)+(-123)+\left(27\right)$

$=(-299)+\left(27\right)$ [In sum of two numbers, the resultant sign will be the one of the bigger number]

$=-272$

Hence, $(-73)+\left(27\right)+(-103)+(-123)=(-272)$
