Project Budget Reconciliation
A department head is reviewing a project budget that currently shows a balance of -$2,500 due to unexpected maintenance costs. The company then issues a budget adjustment of +$3,000 to cover these expenses. To find the new net balance, the manager must add these two integers with different signs.
Recall and state the specific mathematical rule used to determine the sign (positive or negative) of the final sum. Based on that rule, identify whether the project's final balance will be positive or negative.
