b

Step-by-step explanation:

in this case the negative is larger so it will still be a negative number

Option B = -5.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of r + s when r = –17.6 and s = 12.2 is as:                                                                

r + s =

By putting values,  

r + s = ( -17.6 ) + ( 12.2 ),

r + s = -17.6 + 12.2,

r + s = -5.4
