Am i correct in simply adding 1 + (-3), and equates to (-2) being the answer.

To answer this question, we need to understand the expression and evaluate it correctly. The expression you provided is not visible in the text format. It seems to be an image link, which unfortunately I am unable to access or interpret.

However, based on the information you provided, if you are trying to evaluate the expression "1 + (-3)," your reasoning is correct. Adding 1 and (-3) would indeed result in (-2). Adding a positive number (1) and a negative number (-3) together gives a negative number (-2).

Remember that adding a positive number to a negative number is essentially the same as subtracting the positive number. In this case, (-3) is greater than 1, so subtracting 3 from 1 gives you (-2).
