2-2 Adding Integers How can a number line help you add integers?
Add Integers on a Number Line • Find -2 + (-3) • Start at zero. • Move two units to the left. • From there, move two units to the left. -2 + (-3) = -5
Adding Integers With the Same Sign • To add integers with the same sign, add their absolute values. Give the result the same sign as the integers. • -4 + -5 = -9 • 6 + 3 = 9 Remember: If the signs are the same, take the sum, and use the same sign.
Adding Integers on a Number Line • 7 + -4 • Start at zero. • Move seven units to the right. • From there, move four units to the left. • 2 + (-3) • Start at zero. • Move two units to the right. • From there, move 3 units to the left.
Add Integers With Different Signs • To add integers with different signs, subtract their absolute values. Give the result the same signs as the integer with the greater absolute value. • -8 + 3 -5 • 10 + (-4) 6 Remember: If the signs are different, take the difference, and use the sign of the number with the greater absolute value.
