Answer 2

Answer:

1. (-132) + (-256) + 44 = - (132+256) + 44 = (-388) +44 = -344 The negative numbers are to be added separately(-(132+256))=(-(3 ...

2.( - 132) + ( - 256) + 44 = - 132 - 256 + 44 = - 388 + 44 = - 344 3. ( - 132) + 14 + 4 + ( - 20) = - 132 + 14 + 4 - 20 = - 118 + 4 - 20 = - 114 ... - 50 + ( - 60) + 50 = - 50 - 60 + 50 = - (50 + 60) + 50 - 110 + 50 = - 60 .
