It is normal subtraction. if the tw numbers are x and y then the subtraction is x-y
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.
Adding two numbers with different signs means subtracting the two absolute integers (without sign) and vice versa.
-- If the two integers have the same sign, their quotient is positive. -- If the two integers have different signs, their quotient is negative.
When we add or subtract integers, the result depends on their signs: adding two positive numbers or two negative numbers yields a positive or negative result, respectively, while adding a positive and a negative number involves finding the difference between their absolute values and taking the sign of the larger absolute value. Multiplying integers results in a positive product when both integers have the same sign and a negative product when they have different signs. Dividing integers follows the same sign rules as multiplication; the quotient is positive if both integers share the same sign and negative if their signs differ. Overall, operations involving integers adhere to specific rules regarding their signs and absolute values.
The answer depends on what you wish to DO with them.
Add their magnitudes, and keep the same sign for the sum.
Yes, integers with the same sign will always affect the sum in a way that maintains that sign. For example, adding two positive integers results in a larger positive integer, while adding two negative integers yields a larger negative integer. Therefore, the sum of integers with the same sign will always be either positive or negative, depending on their sign.
-- If they both start out with the same sign (both negative or both positive), then do this: . . . . . add their two values . . . . . the answer has the same sign as the two original integers. -- If they start out with opposite signs (one negative and one positive), then do this: . . . . . forget about the signs . . . . . find their difference (subtract the smaller number from the larger one) . . . . . give it the sign of whichever original integer was the larger number.
-- Their sum and difference both have the same sign that the two integers have. -- Their product and quotient are both positive.
You subtract the smaller from the larger and give the answer the sign of the number with the larger absolute value.
You get a product which is positive.
Subtract the number with the smaller absolute value from the other. Give the answer the sign of the number with the larger absolute value.
