Adding and Subtracting Integers

In this video, Mr. Peters, an algebra teacher, explains how to add and subtract integers. He covers two main concepts: adding integers with the same sign and adding integers with different signs. For integers with the same sign, you add the numbers and keep the sign. For integers with different signs, you drop the signs, subtract the numbers, and keep the sign of the larger number. The video includes examples for each concept to help clarify the process. Mr. Peters concludes with a summary and encourages viewers to like, comment, and subscribe.
