Q:

Negative plus a positive equals

A) negative B) positive
C) zero D) Can't be determined
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Can't be determined

Explanation:

We know that a negative value plus a positive value always count backward and the sign depends on the bigger value sign.

When you are adding a negative number to a positive number, then the value counts backward and takes the sign of the biggest number.

 

For example::

Adding -5 and +2

-5 + 2 = -3 (big number is 5 and its sign is '-')

 

Adding -3 and  +5

+5 + (-3) = 5 - 3 = +2(big number is 5 and it has sign '+').

Q:

Which planet has the lowest density?

A) Earth B) Jupiter
C) Saturn D) Neptune
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Saturn

Explanation:

Saturn, the solar system's second largest planet that takes the prize for least dense. It's less dense than water, which has led many people to postulate that it would float.

However, even if it somehow found its way to a body of water large and deep enough to contain it, Saturn would break apart and its rocky core would sink.
