Add 4.6+(−9.04).

To add \( 4.6 \) and \( -9.04 \), you can think of it as subtracting \( 9.04 \) from \( 4.6 \):

\[ 4.6 + (-9.04) = 4.6 - 9.04 \]

Now, perform the subtraction:

\[ 4.6 - 9.04 = -4.44 \]

So, \( 4.6 + (-9.04) = -4.44 \).

how did you get this answer

Let's break down the addition step by step.

When you add \( 4.6 + (-9.04) \), it can be thought of as subtracting \( 9.04 \) from \( 4.6 \). Here's how that works:

  1. Write the problem as a subtraction: \[ 4.6 + (-9.04) = 4.6 - 9.04 \]

  2. Convert the numbers to have a common decimal format:

    • \( 4.6 \) can be expressed as \( 4.60 \) to match the decimal places of \( 9.04 \).
  3. Subtract \(-9.04\) from \(4.60\):

    • Set it up like so: \[ \begin{array}{r} 4.60 \
      • 9.04 \ \hline \end{array} \]
  4. Subtract the numbers:

    • Start from the rightmost digit:
      • In the hundredths place, \( 0 - 4 \) can't be done without borrowing. So we borrow 1 from the tenths place (4 becomes 3), making this \( 10 - 4 = 6 \) in the hundredths place.
      • Now the tenths place is \( 3 - 0 = 3 \).
      • In the whole number part, \( 4 - 9 \) again can't be done without borrowing. This means the result will be negative, so think of it as \( 4 - 9 + 10 = -5 \) (the 10 comes from the next whole number, but we keep it negative).
  5. Combine the results:

    • So, \( 4.60 - 9.04 \) effectively gives you \( -4.44 \).

Thus, the final answer is \( -4.44 \). If you have any further questions or want clarification on any part, feel free to ask!

i dont get it explainit in word form

Sure! Let's explain it in a simpler, step-by-step way without using too many numbers.

  1. Understanding What You’re Doing: You have \( 4.6 \) and you want to add \( -9.04 \). Adding a negative number is like subtracting, so you're really trying to find out how much you have if you take away \( 9.04 \) from \( 4.6 \).

  2. Visualizing the Amounts: Imagine you have \( 4.6 \) dollars. Now, if you have to take away \( 9.04 \) dollars, you're going to end up in debt because you don't have enough money.

  3. Performing the Subtraction:

    • You start with your \( 4.6 \) dollars.
    • When you try to take away the \( 9.04 \) dollars, since you don't have enough, you will end up below zero, which means you will owe money.
  4. Finding the Difference:

    • First, think of \( 9.04 \) – it’s more than \( 4.6 \). Since \( 9.04 \) is larger, you know the result will be negative.
    • Now, you can think about how much larger \( 9.04 \) is than \( 4.6 \).
  5. Conclusion:

    • When you subtract \( 9.04 \) from \( 4.6 \), the result shows how much you are below zero, which means your debts. After the calculations, you find out that you will have minus \( 4.44 \), meaning you owe \( 4.44 \).

So, to sum it up: when you added \( 4.6 \) and \( -9.04 \), you ended up with \( -4.44 \) because you couldn’t cover the amount you were subtracting. If any part is still unclear, let me know!
