Answer 2

Answer:

$0

Step-by-step explanation:

<---*-12*------------0------------*12*--->

You start from negative twelve and add 12.

                                            count up 12 spaces

<---*-12*_-11_-10_-9_-8_-7_-6 _-5_-4_-3_-2 _-1 _0_1_2_3_4_5_6_7_8_9_10....

       ⬆

*start here*

or if you understand it better like this...

-12 + (1 x 12)

or if you still cant wrap your brain around it...

-12 + 12 = 0

I don't know how you learn best so I put it in three ways :]

<3 Enjoy,
