What is the rule for adding a positive and negative number?
Adding a positive and negative number, the sum will always be negative. Example: 10+-20=-10 If you add two negatives, they cancel each other out making it positive.
What is the rule for adding negative integers?
Adding negatives is exactly the same as taking away the positive number. Alternatively you can think of it as "imagine both the numbers are positive, add them together. This number is then negative. And you're done".
What is the rule in adding integers with unlike sign?
it depends to the value of the number,when the greater value caries the positive sign,your answer must be positive,when it carries the negative sign,your answer is negative.
What are is the rule for subtracting fractions with negative signs?
the same as adding whole numbers. two negatives = negative. two positives = positive, and a negative and positive depends on the absolute value of the greater number.
Is the answer going to be positive or negative if your adding a negative to a positive?
Not necessarily.

No- adding negative numbers is like adding positive numbesr , except the answer is negative.
What is -9 minus 6?
-15. The rule is 'subtracting a positive is the same as adding a negative'
What is the rule in adding positive integers?
Adding IntegersTo add integers, one must consider the following two rules to be a successful.If you want to think of it on the number line you start from 0 and when you add a positive number you go that much to the right, and when you add a negative number you go that much to the left. When adding two positive integers, just add like normal. When adding one positive integer, and one negative integer, it is like subtracting a positive number from a positive number. When adding two negative integers, it is like subtracting a positive number from a negative number.
When adding a positive number to a negative number what is a good rule for determining the sign of the sum?
If the negative number is a bigger number, the answer will be negative. Conversely, if the positive number is bigger, the answer will be positive. -20+10= -10 (larger negative number) -10+20=10 (larger positive number)
What is -19 plus 41?
The answer is 22. The rule is "adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive." - In this case, 41-19=22
When you add a positive and a negative what does it become?
the answer could be negative or positive depending on whether the negative number you're adding is bigger than the positive number
What are the rules in adding and subtracting integer?
Rule: Positive + Positive = Positive 12+12=24 Positive - Positive = Positive or Negative 12-6=6 | 12-13=(-1) Positive + Negative = Greater numbers sign in the answer 14+(-18)=(-4) | 18+(-14)=4 Positive - Negative = Positive 8-(-8)=16 Negative + Negative = Negative -12+(-12)=(-24) Negative - Negative = Positive or Negative (-8)-(-9)=1 | (-8)-(-7)=(-1) by, Patrick Macarilay AKA, macason
