Adding and Subtracting Integers

Front

What is the result of adding a positive integer to a negative integer?

Back

The result depends on the absolute values of the integers. If the positive integer has a greater absolute value, the result is positive; if the negative integer has a greater absolute value, the result is negative.

How do you determine the sign of the result when adding two integers?

Back

The sign of the result depends on the signs of the integers being added. If both are positive, the result is positive; if both are negative, the result is negative; if one is positive and the other is negative, the result depends on their absolute values.
