Add a positive unit tile to a positive unit tile.

Add a negative x-tile to a negative x-tile.
D
Add a negative x-tile to a positive unit tile.

Explanation

A zero pair consists of two tiles with opposite values, so their values add to zero. A positive unit tile is +1 and a negative unit tile is −1; together, +1 + (−1) = 0. Therefore, add a positive unit tile to a negative unit tile.
