Step 1 • Decide what you have more of. • Example 4+ -9 has more negatives so your answer will be negative
You try Just tell whether answer will be positive or negative • -5 + 10 positive 2. 7 + -11 negative 3. -15 + 10 negative
Step 2 • Determine if the sign are the same or different • Remember in math different means subtract
You try • -4 + -6 • same signs • -9 + 4 • different signs • 7 + 5 • same signs
Should you add or subtract the numbers • If the signs are the same add • If the signs are different then you subtract • Remember in math difference means to subtract
Your try all process • First determine if answer is positive or negative • 1. 8 + -11 • Negative • different so subtract • 8+ -11 = -3
Whole process • 2. -4 + -8 • Negative • same so add • -4 + -8= -12
Whole process • 3. -30 + 27 • negative • different so subtract • -30 + 27 = -3
