Right.
Yes, you are correct! The answer to the math problem -25+37 is indeed 12. To explain how to arrive at this answer, we can follow the steps of addition.
Step 1: Start with the given numbers, -25 and 37.
Step 2: Since we have a positive and negative number, we can think of this as adding a positive 37 to a negative 25.
Step 3: Begin by ignoring the signs of the numbers and add their absolute values. |37| + |25| = 37 + 25 = 62.
Step 4: Determine the sign of the answer: because we are adding a positive number to a negative number, the answer will have the sign of the larger number, which is positive (+).
Step 5: Put the sign (+) in front of the answer: +62.
Step 6: Therefore, the final answer is +62.
