Question

^{_{Little Lucas invented his own way to write down negative numbers before he learned the usual way with the minus sign in front. Counting backwards, he would write: 3, 2, 1, 0, 00, 000, 0000,... What is the result of 000 + 0000 in his notation?}}

Answer 1

Answer 2

\(3,2,1,0,00,000,0000,...\)

\(\text{So, 00 = -1, 000 = -2 and 0000 = -3. and it follows that 000 + 0000 = -2 + (-3) = -5}\)
