Depend on which is larger, that will determine whether your answer is positive or negative. For example -9 + 3 = -6. Polarity (so to speak) will be the larger value.

One (negative) is preceded by a - sign and the other (positive) is not. Negative integers have values less than zero, whereas positive integers have values greater than zero.

If, however, one is subtracted from the other, then they will equal twice the number from which the other is subtracted.
