What Is Adding Integers?

• To add integers with the same sign, as their absolute values.Give the result the same sign as the integer.

What You Need to Know to Add Integers

• Positive integers are all the whole numbers greater than zero 1,2,3,4,5 {examples}.

• Negative integers are the opposite of these whole numbers. -1-2 -3 -4 –5.

• If an integer is greater than zero, we say that the sign is positive.

• If the integer is less than zero,it would be a negative sign.

Step 1:

• Find the absolute value of each integer. +7 =7 -4 =4.

Step 3

• The result from step 2 takes the sign of the integer with the greatest absolute value. The number 3 will take a positive sign since +7 is farther from zero than –4.

Solution

• Solution 1: +7 + -4 = +3

Solution

• Solution 2: if you start with $7 and you owe $4, then you end up with $3.

Step 2

• Subtract the smaller number from the larger number you get step 1. 7-4=3
