Yes; The numbers combine to zero.
In this situation, running up 4 flights of stairs represents a positive movement or addition, while running down 4 flights of stairs represents a negative movement or subtraction. When these two movements are combined, they cancel each other out and result in zero, which is the additive inverse.
