The sum of 9 and -16 increased by 4

Hey!

So, since the question says the sum of 9 and -16, we'll start by solving that first.

New Equation :
9 + ( -16 ) = ?

Solution {New Equation Solved} :
9 + ( -16 ) = -7

Next, the question says to increase it by 4. So that means we'll add it.

New Equation :
-7 + 4 = ?

Solution {New Equation Solved} :
-7 + 4 = -3

So, this means that the solution to the problem that is the sum of -9 and -16 increased by 4 is  -3.

Hope this helps!
