Adding a positive and a negative is the same as just subtracting.
One oreo PLUS negative one oreos = zero oreos.
1 + - 1 = 1 - 1 = 0
6 + - 2 = 6 - 2 = 4
3 + - 5 = 3 - 5 = -2
Also, adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive.
6 - + 2 = 6 - 2 = 4
[Unless you were talking about this thing: ± , in which case, just split it into two different problems.]

area of a triangle = (1/2) * (base) * (height)
