If you add positive 5 and positive 5, you'll get positive 10.
If you add positive 5 and negative 5, you'll get positive 0.
If you add negative 5 and negative 5, you'll get negative 10.
-5 + 5 = -5 + 5
5 + 5 = 5 + 5
- 5 + -5 = -5 + -5

<em><u>Complete Question:</u></em>
A colony of flowers is pollinated by hummingbirds and sunbirds. Let H represents the number of hummingbirds and S represent the number of sunbirds that must pollinate the colony so it can survive until next year.
6H+ 4S> 74
This year, 8 hummingbirds pollinated the colony. What is the least number of sun birds that must pollinate the colony to ensure that it will survive until next year?
<em><u>Answer:</u></em>
The least number of sun birds is 7
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given inequality is:
6H + 4S > 74
Where,
H is the number of hummingbirds
S is the number of sunbirds
This year, 8 hummingbirds pollinated the colony
Substitute H = 8 in given inequality
6(8) + 4S > 74
48 + 4S > 74
Subtract 48 from both sides
48 + 4S - 48 > 74 - 48
4S > 26
Divide both sides by 4
S > 6.5
Hence the least number of sun birds is 7
1feet = 12 incches so 12times by 9=108 inches
