Hi!

The simplest way to find out if they're equal is by solving each of them.

Imagine a number line.

  • -7 + 9

-7 moves to the right 9 times, and lands on 2.

  • -9 + 7

-9 moves to the right 7 times, and lands on -2.

So, does -7 + 9 = -9 + 7?

Or we could say, does 2 = -2?

The answer is no. This is false.

Hope this helps! :)
