Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 20 + (-30) \):

1. When you add a negative number, it is the same as subtracting that number. So, you can rewrite the expression as: \[ 20 - 30 \]

2. Now, perform the subtraction: \[ 20 - 30 = -10 \]

Thus, the simplified expression is \( -10 \).

The correct response is -10.
