If it is two negative numbers then you add:
ex: -7 + -5 = -12
If it is two different signs, then you subtract:
ex: -8 + 2 = -6
Can you see which one is the larger absolute value? 8 is larger than 2 so it is negative.

What is the rule for adding two integers that vary in sign?
Subtract the number with the smaller absolute value from the other. Give the answer the sign of the number with the larger absolute value.
What is the rule in adding integers?
The set of integers is closed under addition.Addition is commutative and associative. There exists a unique number, 0, such that n + 0 = 0 + n for any integer n. For every integer m, there exists an integer m' such that m + m' = m' + m = 0. m' is denoted by "-m".
What is the rule for adding fractions?

What is a rule in terms of n for the sum of the first n even positive integers?
Sn = n*(n+1)
Name the rule for dividing integers with different signs?
The value of the quotient of two integers with different signs is the same as if the signs were the same. Because the numbers have different signs, the quotient is negative.
What is rule of adding integers that are different from each other?
how do you evaluate 5 - 7
What is the rule for adding integers with like signs?
positive + positive = positive negitive + negitive = positive negitive + positive = negitive
What is rule of division integers?
if both have the same sign the answer is positive, if they have different signs the answer is negative.
What is the rule for dividing integers?
When dividing numbers that are different the answer will be negative.
What is the rule for multiplying or dividing two integers with different signs?
divide them or multiply then put a negative because to different signs make a negative to of the same signs make a positive
What is the rule of adding integers with unlike signs?
The magnitude of the answer is the difference between the two numbers and it has the sign of the integer which has the bigger magnitude. I guess so?
What is the rule to subtract integers?
signs are different.... Find the difference.... KEEP THE LARGER SIGN signs are the same... COMBINE AND KEEP THE SIGN
What is the rule for adding integers that have the same sign?
The sum is positive.
What is the rule for multiplying integers with different signs?
Multiply two integers disregarding the signs. Then if the signs are the same, the answer is positive and if the signs are different, the answer is negative. Alternatively, if you are multiplying together a whole bunch of numbers, first find the product while ignoring the signs. Then count all the negative numbers. If the count is even, the answer is positive and if it is odd, the answer is negative.
What is the rule for subtracting integers with the same signs?
if the signs are the same you must add its opposite.
What is the rule in mulitplying integers with unlike sign?
One rule is that the product of two integers with unlike signs will have a minus sign for the product.
