To solve the problem \(-474 + 79\), you can follow these steps:
-
Since you are adding a negative number and a positive number, you will subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value.
-
The absolute values are 474 and 79.
-
Subtract \(79\) from \(474\):
\[ 474 - 79 = 395 \]
-
Since \(-474\) has a larger absolute value, the result will be negative.
Thus,
\[ -474 + 79 = -395 \]
So, the final answer is:
\(-395\)
