1. **State the problem:** We are asked to evaluate expressions where we start with a negative number and then add or subtract another number, making the result more negative. This is called "Case 3".
2. **Formula and rule:** Adding a negative number is the same as subtracting a positive number. For example, $a + (-b) = a - b$.
3. **Evaluate each expression step-by-step:**
- $1.$ $-2 - 3 = -2 + (-3) = -5$
- $2.$ $-1 - 6 = -1 + (-6) = -7$
- $3.$ $-4 + (-4) = -8$
- $4.$ $-9 + (-2) = -11$
- $5.$ $-8 - 4 = -8 + (-4) = -12$
- $6.$ $-4 + (-6) = -10$
- $7.$ $-1 + (-8) = -9$
- $8.$ $-15 - 2 = -15 + (-2) = -17$
- $9.$ $-9 + (-11) = -20$
- $10.$ $-5 + (-14) = -19$
- $11.$ $-20 - 5 = -20 + (-5) = -25$
- $12.$ $-13 - 3 = -13 + (-3) = -16$
- $13.$ $-12 + (-3) = -15$
- $14.$ $-16 - 2 = -16 + (-2) = -18$
- $15.$ $-50 - 50 = -50 + (-50) = -100$
Each step shows how adding a negative number is the same as subtracting a positive number, making the total more negative.
**Final answers:**
$-5, -7, -8, -11, -12, -10, -9, -17, -20, -19, -25, -16, -15, -18, -100$
