Integers, Integers, Integers

The result of adding two negative integers is always a negative integer. For example, -2 + (-8) = -10.

Subtracting a negative integer from a positive integer is equivalent to adding the absolute value of that negative integer. For example, 8 - (-5) = 8 + 5 = 13.

Subtracting a negative integer from a negative integer can result in a less negative or positive integer. For example, -8 - (-6) = -8 + 6 = -2.

The sum of -2 and -5 is -7.

The sum of -18 and -6 is -24.

An integer is a whole number that can be positive, negative, or zero.

The absolute value of a negative integer is its positive counterpart. For example, the absolute value of -5 is 5.

To find the sum of two integers with different signs, subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value and take the sign of the integer with the larger absolute value.

The result of -2 + (-8) is -10.

The result of -8 - (-6) is -2.
