Understanding Integer Operations

The video tutorial explains how to find the difference between two integers by converting the subtraction into an addition problem. It demonstrates the process using formal rules for adding integers with different signs and visualizes the solution on a number line. The example used is negative ten minus negative sixty-two, which is converted to negative ten plus positive sixty-two, resulting in a sum of positive fifty-two.
