Adding Integers: Key Concepts and Examples

This video tutorial by Mr. J provides a quick review of how to add integers, focusing on both positive and negative numbers. It covers two examples: 12 plus negative 7 and negative 8 plus negative 10, demonstrating different methods to solve these problems, including using absolute values and mental math. The video concludes with a summary and links to additional resources for further learning.

What is the result of adding a positive and a negative integer with different absolute values?

• The sum is the difference of their absolute values with the sign of the larger absolute value.

• The sum is the addition of their absolute values.

• The sum is always negative.

• The sum is always positive.
