Evaluate: 8 - 9 + (-2)

Evaluate : 8 - 9 + (-2)

8-9 = - 1 (because if you take away 9 from 8, you will end up with a negative number since there isn't enough to take away.)

-1 + - 2 = - 3 (this is because when you are adding two negative numbers together, you will basically just add - 1 and - 2 as you would normally, then you would transfer the negative sign as well to make it - 3)

Finally, your answer to this question is - 3.
