When finding the sum of two negative numbers, will the answer be negative, positive or sometimes negative/sometimes positive?

Aaron – The answer will always be negative.

Betty – The answer will always be positive.

Clint – It depends on the numbers, sometimes it will be positive but sometimes it will be negative.

Blue whales swim to different areas of the ocean depending on the water temperature. One whale that was being tracked was swimming at 100 feet below sea level. As the water he was swimming in began to heat up, he moved down another 50 feet below sea level.

1) Write a math sentence that represents this scenario.

2) What is the blue whale’s depth?

3) The whale decided to return to sea level. Write a math sentence that shows the entire journey.

1) -100 + (-50 )

2) -150 ft.

3) -100 + (-50) + 150 = 0
