Adding two numbers with different signs means subtracting the two absolute integers (without sign) and vice versa.

∙ 9y agoBecause otherwise you would only know how to subtract and add with the same integers. Not a particularly useful skill unless just those integers turned up!
It is important to add and subtract integers: to get a new integer value in mathematics .
If the integers have the same sign (poitive or negative) you should add them together. If they have a different sign you subtract the numbers and the answer will take the sign of the number with the greatest absolute value (the number farthest from zero on a numberline) in the problem.
First, subtract the absolute values of the integers, then use the greater absolute value's sign.
to subtract an integer, add its opposite or additive inverse.
If you mean integers, well if you have two integers of the same sign that you are adding, add and the sign stays the same. If you have different signs, subtract and keep the sign of the one that has more. Regular numbers you just add them.
You subtract the smaller from the larger and give the answer the sign of the number with the larger absolute value.
Add the numerals and keep the sign. Examples: +9 + +3 = +12 -5 + -6 = -11 Just in case this is your next question: to add integers with different signs, subtract the numerals, and use the sign of the larger number.
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.

you can add subtract multiply and divide them.
if the signs are different then u put the larger sing down then u subtract if if the signs are the same then u put the same sign down then u add

If the signs are the same, add the absolute values and keep the sign. If the signs are different, subtract the lesser absolute value from the greater absolute value and keep the sign of the number with the greater absolute value.
