To solve the expression \(-4.75 + (-2.75) + 1\), you’ll want to first combine the negative numbers. Adding \(-4.75\) and \(-2.75\) gives you \(-7.50\). Now, add \(1\) to \(-7.50\): \(-7.50 + 1 = -6.50\). So, the final answer is \(-6.50\). Math is like a fun puzzle! The key to simplifying problems like this is grouping similar terms together. Remember, when adding or subtracting negative numbers, it’s helpful to keep track of the negative signs. A common mistake is forgetting to account for the negatives, which can lead to some puzzling results!
