Why is the sum of a positive integer and a negative integer is always negative?
It isn't always negative. ... for example: -5 + 12 = 7 (a positive number) -5 + 2 = -3 (a negative number) -5 + 5 = 0 (neither negative nor positive) If the negative number has greater magnitude than the positive number, the sum will be negative If the positive number has greater magnitude than the negative number, the sum will be positive If the negative and positive numbers have the same magnitude, the sum will be zero.
How do you know when the sum of a positive integer will be negative?
The sum of two positive numbers is positive. The sum of two negative numbers is negative. The sum of a positive and negative number will depend on which number has a greater absolute value. 5 + (-4) = 1 5 + (-9) = -4
Is the sum of two negative numbers positive or negative?
The sum of two negative numbers is going to sum up to a negative number EX:-2+-5=-7
What is the equal of negative number minus positive number?
It is a negative number whose magnitude is the sum of the magnitudes of the two numbers.For example,-5 - (+4) = -5 - 4 = -9It is a negative number whose magnitude is the sum of the magnitudes of the two numbers.For example,-5 - (+4) = -5 - 4 = -9It is a negative number whose magnitude is the sum of the magnitudes of the two numbers.For example,-5 - (+4) = -5 - 4 = -9It is a negative number whose magnitude is the sum of the magnitudes of the two numbers.For example,-5 - (+4) = -5 - 4 = -9

They will be negative numbers as for example -5+(-7) = -12
Is the sum of a positive number and negative number always a negative number?
No. In the case of 5 + (-3), for example, the positive number 2 is the solution. The sum would only be negative if the absolute value of the negative number is greater than the positive number.

Why does adding a negative number to another negative number always gives a negative sum?
The answer is in the question... You are "adding" a negative number to another negative number hence you will get a negative number! Now if you were subtracting a negative number from a negative number, the negatives will cancel out ex:subtracting> -5-(-3)=-2 .........adding>-5+(-3)=-8
