As a helper, please do not give out answers that could be copied as a homework solution. Have the student work through the problem themselves and guide them along the way.

Ok sorry bro

[idle nimbus]

how do you add to a minus

is it -4r

[echo ibex]

correct.

[idle nimbus]

ahhhhhhh

[echo ibex]

adding a negative quantity is the same as subtracting it.

that is, a + (-b) = a - b.

[echo ibex]

that rule was for adding a negative quantity. you're not adding a negative quantity here.

[idle nimbus]
