Given the numerical equation:
4 + ( - 7)
Solution:
In order to solve the numerical equation, we must simply understand first the concept of multiplying, dividing, or introducing signs. If similar signs are introduced, multiplied or divided to one another, the answer will become positive, hence if the signs are opposite to one another, then the answer will become negative. In our case we have an addition sign, and a subtraction sign therefore the resulting sign will be negative.
= 4 + ( - 7)
= 4 - 7
= -3
Final answer:
= -3
