Answer 1

Try some examples.

+8 + (+8) = 16

+ 10 - (-4) = "

Look for a pattern.

Answer 2

B always positive

for example, this would be positive number - negative number = positive number + - - positive number = positive number

3 (positive number ) - (-14) (negative number) = 3 --14 = 3+14 = 17. btw it cant be 0 because the first number is positive
