The sum of p and q can be described as p + q.
The correct way to find the sum p + q if p is positive and q is negative is to start at p on the number line and move q units to the left.
To add (-3) and (-17), we add their values which gives us (-3) + (-17) = -20.
To add (4) and (-15), we add their values which gives us 4 + (-15) = -11.
To add (-18) and (5), we add their values which gives us (-18) + 5 = -13.
Which of the following describes the sum in terms of p and q?
