Without finding the sum, determine if the sum of -4 + 2 will be positive or negative

Negative

Step-by-step explanation:

Adding two to '-4' would not be enough to make the number positive.

Any number that is greater than 4 that is added to '-4' would result in a positive number sum.

-4 + 2 = -2
