Question

find the sum of 256 and -312

Answer 1

Given: the numbers 256 and (- 312)

To find: the sum of 256 and (- 312)

Solution:

• Before we find the sum of two numbers, we must remember that when a positive symbol is multiplied with a negative symbol, we get a negative symbol.
• i.e., ( + ) × ( - ) = ( - )

• Now, the sum is
• = 256 + (- 312)
• = 256 - 312
• = - (- 256 + 312) [ taking negative symbol common ]
• = - ( 312 - 256) [ rearranging the terms)
• = - 56

Answer: required sum is (- 56).
