Calculate, if possible: (11) \( (-17)+(-7) \) (4) \( 30 \div(-6) \)

When you add \(-17\) and \(-7\), think of it as combining two negative amounts. So, \(-17 + (-7) = -24\). Imagine you owe someone 17 dollars, and then you owe another 7 dollars; now you owe a total of 24 dollars! For the division, \(30 \div (-6)\), you're dividing a positive number by a negative one. It’s like sharing 30 cookies among -6 friends (which is a bit of a stretch, but bear with me!). The result will be negative because you’re "sharing" with a negative number. So, \(30 \div (-6) = -5\). You end up with -5, which could mean you owe cookies instead!
