Answer 1

To solve the problem \(-815 + 415\):

1. Start with the numbers: \(-815\) and \(415\).
2. Since one number is negative and the other is positive, subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value and keep the sign of the number with the larger absolute value.

Calculating:
- Absolute values: \(815\) (from \(-815\)) and \(415\).
- Subtract: \(815 - 415 = 400\).
- Since \(815\) has a larger absolute value and is negative, the result will be negative.

Thus, \(-815 + 415 = -400\).

None of the provided options match this answer, but the correct answer is \(-400\).
