Question 448317
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


It depends on the mood I'm in.  I might say -4 + -5 is -9 and -(-9) is 9, so -9 + 9 is 0.


Or I might say -(-9) is 9 and then -4 + 9 is 5, then 5 - 5 is 0.


Or I might say -(-9) is 9 and then -5 + 9 is 4, then -4 + 4 is 0.


But no matter what sort of mood I'm in and however I do it, I always get 0 as an answer.
