-1.5 + (-2.75) = -4.25 is the answer
When subtracting from a negative number, the answer will be even more negative. The first two choices automatically don’t make sense because they made 1.5 positive. The third choice won’t work because two negatives beside each other means addition but for this question, you are subtracting. The last choice is right because it is the same as -1.5 - 2.75.
