Identify values for substitution: Identify the values of a and b that need to be substituted into the expression −a+(−b). a=6.05 b=3.611
Substitute values into expression: Substitute the values of a and b into the expression.−a+(−b) becomes −6.05+(−3.611)
Perform addition of negative numbers: Perform the addition of the two negative numbers.−6.05+(−3.611)=−6.05−3.611
Calculate sum of negative numbers: Calculate the sum of −6.05 and −3.611. −6.05−3.611=−9.661
Check for errors: Check the result for any mathematical errors. The addition of two negative numbers has been performed correctly, and the result is negative.
