NEGATIVE NUMBERS - Zombies and Survivors
First of all we have two teams, positive numbers, which are represented by living humans, or survivors, and negative numbers, which are then, obviously, the undead, zeds, zombies.
positive numbers negative numbers
ADDITION
We have seven humans, hiding out in a rickety old warehouse, with a surprisingly large arsenal of shotguns and buckshot. Five ambling undead come stumbling out of the local cemetery that has been rained upon by an unknown chemical that reanimates corpses, most likely created by the government as a chemical warfare agent. Who will survive the inevitable fight?
This would be represented as 7+ -5.
Now, our humans are not trained in combat at all, and whether they are or not, to fit the plot of the math problem, we know that they are incredibly bad at fighting zombies and anyone who kills a zombie ends up getting bitten and must die. As in real life, if there is a zombie attack, it is best to hide and stay out of it, but alas, these are brave, if not foolhardy, little positive humans and so, they are jumping right into this fight.

Once everyone is done with their multiplying orgy of the damned, you combine like terms into teams, that is, demon numbers combine by addition or subtraction, as do plain ole numbers who have avoided being possessed. They are organized from most possessed to least possessed as follows:
