Positive.

Adding a negative number is the same as subtracting a positive one.
So,
$20 + (- 10)$ $20+(-10)$ is the same as $20 - 10$ $20-10$

$20 - 10 = 10$ $20-10=10$ , so the answer is positive.

(The number of positives (20) is more than the number of negatives (10), so the answer will be positive.)

Is 20+−1020+ - 10 positive or negative?
