Question 1015864: Please explain to me how to solve this problem step by step
-15 + (-10) + 25

Answer by fractalier(6550)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Imagine that minus numbers represent money you lose. Positive numbers are money you receive. Thus
-15 + (-10) = -25
You have lost 25 dollars.
Then, the plus 25 means you added 25 dollars.
Your total would then be ZERO. And
-15 + (-10) + 25 = 0
