Reaction+ cell potential for redox reaction in galvanic cell?

Ni2+ + 2e- →Ni (E°= -0.28 V)
Zn2+ + 2e- →Zn (E°= -0.76 V)

I need to write the overall reaction and cell potential. I think I sort of understand how to do it but am not sure... do I just add the two voltages to get the cell potential? So -104?

Ni²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Ni(s) …… E° = -0.28 V
Zn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Zn(s) …… E° = -0.76 V

As the second half reaction has higher reduction potential, Zn is a stronger reducing agent than Ni. Therefore, Zn will undergo reduction and Ni²⁺ will undergo oxidation.
Zn(s) + Ni²⁺(aq) → Zn²⁺(aq) + Ni(s) …… E°(cell)

E°(cell) = E°(Red) - E°(Oxi) = (-0.28 V) - (-0.76 V) = +0.48 V
