Use properties of operations to add (−3) and (−17) .(1 point) Responses −14 negative 14 −20 negative 20 20 20 14

Answer 1

To add \(-3\) and \(-17\), you can use the properties of addition:

\[ -3 + (-17) = -3 - 17 \]

When adding two negative numbers, you add their absolute values and keep the negative sign:

\[ 3 + 17 = 20 \] So,

\[ -3 + (-17) = -20 \]

Therefore, the answer is \(-20\).
