In a quiz, team A scored-40,10,0 and team B scored 10,0,-40 in three successive rounds. Which team score more? Can we say that we can add integers in any order?

Given:

In a quiz, team A scored-40,10,0 and team B scored 10,0,-40 in three successive rounds.

To do: To find which team scored more.

Solution:

Sum of scores of team A = $-40+10+0$                                               = $-30$

Sum of scores of team B = $10+0+[-40]$

                                             = $10-40$

                                             =$-30$

So, score of team A = score of team B

Yes, we can say that we can add integers in any order it will give the same result.
