Understanding Integer Addition with Absolute Values

This video tutorial explains how to add integers using absolute values in three steps. First, find the absolute value of each addend. Next, check the signs of the addends: if they are the same, add the absolute values; if different, subtract them. Finally, determine the sign of the sum by using the sign of the addend with the higher absolute value. The tutorial includes examples to illustrate these steps and encourages students to review the material and ask questions if needed.

What is the first step in adding integers using absolute values?

• Determine the sign of the sum

• Check the signs of the addends

• Subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger one

• Find the absolute value of each addend

When organizing absolute values, which one should be written first?

• The positive addend

• The one with the larger absolute value

• The one with the smaller absolute value

• The negative addend

What should you do if the signs of the addends are different?

• Add the absolute values

• Subtract the absolute values

• Divide the absolute values

• Multiply the absolute values

In the example of -7 + 5, what is the result after subtracting the absolute values?

• 12

• 2

• 0

• -2

If both addends have the same sign, what should you do with their absolute values?

• Divide them

• Multiply them

• Subtract them

• Add them

How do you determine the sign of the sum?

• Always use a negative sign

• Use the sign of the addend with the smaller absolute value

• Use the sign of the addend with the larger absolute value

• Always use a positive sign

In the example of 4 + (-6), what is the final result?

• -10

• 2

• -2

• 10

What is the absolute value of -6?

• 0

• -6

• 6

• 12

What is the absolute value of 4?

• -4

• 4

• 0

• 8
