Responses
The sum −p+(−q) is the number located a distance p from q in the positive direction.
The sum negative p plus left parenthesis negative q right parenthesis is the number located a distance p from q in the positive direction.
The sum p+(−q) is the number located a distance |p| from q in the negative direction.
The sum p plus left parenthesis negative q right parenthesis is the number located a distance Start Absolute Value p End Absolute Value from q in the negative direction.
The sum p+(−q) is the number located a distance |q| from p in the positive direction.
The sum p plus left parenthesis negative q right parenthesis is the number located a distance Start Absolute Value q End Absolute Value from p in the positive direction.
The sum p+(−q) is the number located a distance |q| from p in the negative direction.
The sum p plus left parenthesis negative q right parenthesis is the number located a distance Start Absolute Value q End Absolute Value from p in the negative direction.
The correct response is:
The sum p+(−q) is the number located a distance |q| from p in the negative direction.

Use properties of operations to add (−3) and (−17).
To add -3 and -17, you can simply combine the two numbers.
So, (-3) + (-17) = -20.
The sum of -3 and -17 is -20.
