Question. 56

(−2) + (−5) + (−6) ____ (−3) + (−4) + (−6)

Answer:

(−2) + (−5) + (−6) = (−3) + (−4) + (−6)

Detailed Answer with Explanation:

Think: Adding a negative number moves left on the number line.

Left side

\((-2) + (-5) = -7\)

\(-7 + (-6) = -13\)

Right side

\((-3) + (-4) = -7\)

\(-7 + (-6) = -13\)

Compare

\(-13 = -13\)

So, both sides are equal.
