How would I solve this math problem?

<p>how many distinct sums can be obtained by adding any two different numbers shown below?</p>

<p>-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3</p>

<p>the answer is 11. do u know how to get this the easiest most understandable way?</p>

<p>Take the smallest two and add them together, take the biggest two and add them together. -5 to 5, 11 numbers. There aren’t any numbers in that range that can’t be made.</p>

<p>big mr pig is right</p>

<p>how do u count how many numbers there are from -5 to 5?</p>

<p>you serious? </p>

<p>there are 5 numbers between 1 and 5, inclusive</p>

<p>there are 5 numbers between -1 and -5, inclusive</p>

<p>there is 0</p>

<p>5+5+1 = 11</p>

<p>hahahhaha yea i guess i had a brain freeze</p>
