Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the sum, we simply add -66 and -46. (-66) + (-46) = -112. Therefore, the correct answer is choice B, -112. To find the sum of two negative integers, we add their absolute values and give the sum a negative sign. So |-66| + |-46| = 66 + 46 = 112, and the sum is negative, so the answer is -112.
