Question 1 (1 point) \( -289+311= \) 600 22 -22 -600

To solve \( -289 + 311 \), you basically take 311 and subtract 289 from it. Think of it like you owe someone $289, but then you find $311! So, you pay off your debt and still have some cash left. When we do the math, we find \( 311 - 289 = 22 \). So, the answer is 22! However, it’s super common to confuse signs when dealing with negative and positive numbers. A tip is to always visualize them on a number line—moving left for negatives and right for positives can really clear up any confusion!
