When the absolute value of the positive integer is the same as the absolute value of the negative one.
Subtracting a negative integer is the same as adding its absolute value.
Yes, a positive integer and its negative have the same absolute value. For example, +5 and -5 have the same absolute value.
Yes, a positive integer and its negative have the same absolute value. For example, +5 and -5 have the same absolute value.
If the absolute value of the positive integer is greater than the absolute value of the negative integer, then the sum of the two will be positive.If the absolute value of the positive integer is less than the absolute value of the negative integer, then the sum will be negative.If the absolute values of the two integers are the same then the sum will be zero, which has neither a negative nor a positive sign.
Zero.
Yes, it is.
No. The absolute value of any number is the non-negative value of that number.So, the absolute value of a number X, which is greater than or equal to 0, is X.The absolute value of a number X, which is less than 0, is -X.Note that, in the second case, X < 0 implies that -X > 0.
any integer and the negative of that integer... for example 3 and -3 are the same distance from 0
It depends. No matter what, you subtract the two quantities. If the absolute value of the positive integer is greater than the absolute value of the negative integer, your answer is positive. If the absolute value of the negative integer is greater than the absolute value of the positive integer, your answer is negative.For example:-32+11 is -21, because the absolute value of -32 is greater than the absolute value of 11, and 32 is negative.-11+32 is 21, because the absolute value of 32 is greater than the absolute value of 11, and 32 is positive.If this is all confusing, I like to remember a song my seventh grade math teacher taught the class to the tune of "row row row your boat:"same sign add and keepdifferent sign subtractkeep the sign of the larger numberthen you'll be exact!"(the word "sign" refers to negative or positive)
The sum of a negative integer and a positive integer is zero only when the two integers have the same absolute value. For example, if you have -3 (negative integer) and +3 (positive integer), their sum is zero. However, in general, this situation occurs infrequently since it requires specific values. Most of the time, the sum will be a negative integer if the absolute value of the negative integer is greater than that of the positive integer, and a positive integer if the opposite is true.
When the two numbers are additive inverses, for example, 4 and -4. Actually that's how "additive inverse" is defined.
