What type of integer do you get when you add two negative integers?
You will get a negative integer.
What are the rules for adding and subtracting integers?
when you add two positive integers the answer is always positive when you add two negative integers the answer is positive when you add one negative and on positive integer, the answer is negative subtracting two negative numbers gets a negative answer subtracting two positive numbers- the answer depends subtracting a negative and positive number- the answer depends, the positive number would have to be bigger than the negative to achieve a negative number, and if the positive number is less, than the answer is still negative
When you add two integers how can you decide whether it is a positive negative or zero?
That will depend on the two integers that you use. The result could be any of negative, zero or positive.
The sum of two negative integers is a positive integer?
No, the sum of two negative integers is not a positive integer. For example, if you add -5 and -6 together the sum would be -11.
Does the commutative property of addition apply when you add two negative integers?
Yes, it does.
Is the answer to adding two negative integers a positive or negative?
When you add two negative integers, the answer is still negative.
When you add two negative integers what will the answer always be?
It will always be negative.
What type of integer do you get when you add two negative integers?
You will get a negative integer.
Does the commutative prop of add apply when you add two negative integers?
Yes, it does.
Why two negatives is a positive?
I feel that two negatives are positive because you add* your two negative integers* together, you would be doing this: -+- (negative + negative) so the response is, is that if two integers where both negative, you would add, just like if there were two positives, you would add, but not if you have different signs. (positive+negative) you would subtract. Just as the same with negative + positive. [REVIEW: if the sign is the same, add, if the sign is different, you subtract.] *=you may not always add *=integers- a fancy word for numbers.

How do you add and subbtract positive and negative integers?
When adding negative integers, you subtract. (2+-1=1) When subtracting negative integers, you add. (2--3=5)
Does the commutative property of addition apply when you add two negative integers?
Yes, it does.
If you add integers that are negative then your answer will be positive?
No. Adding negative integers will result in an integer that is more negative.
How is it possible that two integers may be added together and the result is negative?
"Integers" are all the whole numbers, including the negative ones. Add any two of them together and, as long as the bigger one is negative, the sum is negative.
