ADDITION
24 + (-8)
= 16
Explanation
In adding integers, you have to consider the signs of the addends, take this question as the example.
In the expression 24 + (-8), the two addends are distinct, one is postive and one is negative.
If you are going to add a positive integer to a negative integer, you can reverse the sign of the second addend and change the main expression which would be subtraction.
So 24 + (-8) is the same as 24 - 8, as they would provide the same answer which is 16.
