1. The problem is to add two negative numbers: $-95 + (-47)$. 2. When adding negative numbers, you add their absolute values and keep the negative sign. 3. Calculate the sum of the absolute values: $$95 + 47 = 142$$ 4. Since both numbers are negative, the result is negative: $$-142$$ 5. Therefore, $$-95 + (-47) = -142$$
