If the temperature was -9 degrees and it gets 9 degrees warmer then wouldn't it be 0 degrees?

we get the answer zero becoz when in integers when we add a postive integer and a negative integer then we have to subtract them and so if we subtact two same numbers like 9 then we het a zero!its just like 9-9=0

 

so 

 

(-9)+9

 

= -9+9 

 

= 0

 

just like 

 

9-9

 

= 0

 

okay!so i hope now u have understood !and if not then we're here to help you!
