Answer:

1 must be added to (-2) to get (-1).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' denotes the number that needs to be added to (-2).

x added to (-2) is represented by,

x + (-2)

x + (-2) gives (-1)

    Our algebraic equation is,

            x + (-2) = -1

Now, add '2' to both sides,

                   x = (-1) + 2

                   x = 1

1 must be added to (-2) to get (-1).

-2 + 1 = -1

-2 is smaller than -1 so if you add a 1 to -2 it would be -1.
