If it is multiplication, then the 2 values will multiply and the answer will come in negative. If it is addition, then the answer will be zero.

Answer 2

The question asks what, for example, +(-5) means. Think of it this way: If you have a five dollar bill, that is +5 dollars. If you have a paper which says you owe someone five dollars, that is -5 dollars. If you are given a paper which says you owe five dollars, that is +(-5) dollars.

You are 5 dollars "in the hole" . . . +(-)5 = -5.
