Adding and Subtracting Integers

Integers: a set of numbers that include whole numbers, positive numbers, and negative numbers.

Rule 1: When adding integers with signs that are the same, ADD the numbers and keep the sing.

Rule 2: When adding integers with signs that are different, subtract the numbers and keep the sign of the number with the largest absolute value.

Rule 1: -3 + (-2) = -5...add 3+2 to get 5 then keep the sign. -5

Rule 2: Rule 1: 4 + (-2) = 2... subtract 4-2 to get 2 then keep the sign 4 positive because it's bigger

Rule 1: -8 + (-2) = -5...add 8 + 2 to get 10 then keep the sign -10

Rule 2: -5 + 11 = 6...subtract 11-5 to get 6 then keep the sign of the 11 because it's bigger

9 + (-14) =

-12 + (-10) =

16 + (-16) =

-8 + (-8) =

13 + (-5) + 8 =

-4 + 6 + (-8) =

-12 + (-7) + (-5) =
