Best Answer

-8 + 7 = -1 When adding integers with unlike signs you find the difference between the two absolute values of the numbers, in this case 8-7 = 1, and then use the sign of the number with the greatest absolute value (the number with the greatest distance from zero), which in this case is the -8, in the answer. So the answer is negative one or -1.
