Adding Negative Integers Concepts

In this video, Mr. J explains how to add two negative integers by using their absolute values and retaining the negative sign. He provides two examples: -8 plus -5 and -23 plus -6, demonstrating the process of adding absolute values and applying the negative sign to the result. The video concludes with a recap of the method and its application.
