Will the answer be positive, negative, or neither?

Question

−13+(−59)

Answer 1

To solve the expression \(-13 + (-59)\), we can combine the two negative numbers:

\[ -13 + (-59) = -13 - 59 \]

Now we can calculate:

\[ -13 - 59 = -72 \]

Since \(-72\) is a negative number, the answer will be negative.
