0 +(-13) = -13
Since this is addition, 0 plus the number is equal to the number.
Had it been multiplication, any number multiplied by 0 is 0.
It may not be visible but there is a 1 after the + sign.
0 + 1(-13) = - 13
When you multiply a number by 1 the product is the number. However, 1 and 13 have different signs, then the negative sign will prevail, thus -13 remains -13.
