Question

-3 + ___ = negative number

Answer 1

so what the ans

Answer 2

To find a number that when added to -3 yields a negative number, we can denote this unknown number as \( x \). The equation can be formulated as:

\[
-3 + x < 0
\]

To solve for \( x \), we can add 3 to both sides:

\[
x < 3
\]

This means any number less than 3 will satisfy the equation. Therefore, for example, \( x \) could be -1, 0, 1, 2, or any other number less than 3.

Answer 3

The answer is that \( x \) can be any number less than 3. Here are a few examples of numbers that would satisfy the equation:

- \( -1 \)
- \( 0 \)
- \( 1 \)
- \( 2 \)
- \( -10 \)
- \( -100 \)

As long as \( x \) is less than 3, when added to -3, the result will be a negative number.
