Given: -82 + (-43)
First, remove/expand the brackets. (positive number/sign) times (negative number/sign) is (negatve number/sine). So, (+1) x (-4) = -4 We get:
-82 + (-43) = -82 - 43
Consider a holizontal number line where a number goes right if it increases, it goes left if it decreases. This problem requires the point, -84, to go left 43 more units. Moving the point, -84, to left 43 more units is the same process as putting 84 and 43 into brackets marked with negative sign. So, we get:
-82 - 43 = -(82 +43) = -125
Therefore, the answer is: -82 + (-43) = -125
