Answer 1

To calculate \( -26.109 + 4.08 \):

1. Align the numbers for addition:
\[
\begin{array}{r}
-26.109 \\
+ 4.080 \\
\hline
\end{array}
\]

2. Perform the addition:
- Since you are adding a negative number and a positive number, you subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value.
- \( 26.109 - 4.08 = 22.029 \)

3. Since the larger absolute value is negative, the result will also be negative:
\[
-22.029
\]

Thus, the answer is \(-22.029\)**.
