Sagot :

When adding two numbers with different signs we first need to subtract their absolute values, then we need to maintain the signal of the number which has the greatest absolute value. On this case the value "61.2" is greater than "49,8", therefore we need to maintain the sign of the former, which is "+". So the answer is positive.
