Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To add negative and positive integers, we need to subtract the absolute value of the smaller number from the absolute value of the larger number and give the result the sign of the number with the greater absolute value. In this case, the absolute value of -49 is greater than the absolute value of 16, so we subtract 16 from 49 to get 33, and then give the result the negative sign of -49. Therefore, -49 + 16 = -33. To find the sum of two numbers, we need to add them. Here, -49 and 16 are given, so the sum is -49 + 16 = -33. Thus, the answer is option A.
