Subtract the sum of $-1250$ and $1138$ from the sum of $1136$ and $-1272.$
AnswerSum of $-1250$ and $1138 = - 1250 + 1138$
$= 1138 - 1250$
$= -112$
Now, Sum of $1136$ and $-1272 = 1136 - 1272$
$= -136$
$⇒ -136 - (-112) = -136 + 112$
$= -24$

Find the sum of:
$-557$ and $488$
AnswerThe integers are to be added are of the unlike signs.Therefore to add them we find the difference of their absolute values and assign the sign of the addend having greater absolute value.
$(-557)$ and $488$
$= -[|- 557| - |488|]$
$= -[557 - 488]$
$= -69$

Calculate: $1 - 2 + 3 - 4 + 5 - 6 + 7 - 8 + ... + 49 - 50$
Answer$1 - 2 + 3 - 4 + 5 - 6 + 7 - 8 + ... + 49 - 50$
$= (1 - 2) + (3 - 4) + (5 - 6) + (7 - 8) + ... + (49 - 50)$
$= (-1) + (-1) + (-1) + ... + 25$ terms $= (-1) \times 25 = -25$
Hence, $1 - 2 + 3 - 4 + 5 - 6 + 7 - 8 + ... + 49 - 50 = -25$
