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 2takes 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
