Adding Integers

The video tutorial explains how to add two integers, focusing on cases where the integers have the same sign and different signs. For integers with the same sign, their absolute values are added, and the common sign is retained. For integers with different signs, the absolute values are subtracted, and the sign of the integer with the larger absolute value is used. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding absolute values and the signs of integers in addition.

What is the first step when adding two integers with the same sign?

• Divide their absolute values

• Subtract their absolute values

• Multiply their absolute values

• Find the absolute value of each number

If you add -8 and -10, what is the result?

• -18

• 18

• 2

• -2

When adding integers with different signs, what operation is performed on their absolute values?

• Addition

• Multiplication

• Subtraction

• Division

What determines the sign of the sum when adding integers with different signs?

• The sign of the first number

• The sign of the larger absolute value

• The sign of the smaller absolute value

• The sign of the second number

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

• Multiply their absolute values

• Subtract their absolute values

• Divide their absolute values

• Add their absolute values
