The sum is less than the positive number.
Example: 16 + -3= 13.
As you can see 13 is less than 16 so the sum is less than the positive number.

Rules for adding integers?
When you add: a negative and a negative: you get a negative a positive and a positive: you get a positive a positive and a negative or a negative and a positive: Subtract the addend with the smaller value from the greater one. If the greater one is positive, your answer will be positive. If the greater addend is negative, your answer will be negative.
How is adding positive and negative numbers similar to adding integers?
It is the same thing, since "integers" consists of positive and negative numbers (and zero).
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.
How is adding to negative integers the same as and different from subtracting two positive integers?
No- adding negative numbers is like adding positive numbesr , except the answer is negative.
When adding integers and both numbers are negative is the answer positive?
No, it is not.

How do you substract negative numbers?
Subtracting negative numbers is exactly the same as adding the positive number.
How is adding polynomials like adding integers?
The numbers can have a positive or negative sign.
What is the algorithm for adding negative numbers?
subtract the positive number
What are the rules for adding numbers whose signs are different?
Positive plus positive is positive. Negative plus negative is negative. Positive plus negative is positive if the absolute value of the positive number is greater than the absolute value of the negative one. Positive plus negative is negative if the absolute value of the negative number is greater than the absolute value of the positive one.
What are the rules for adding integers?
Positive + Positive = Positive Negative + Negative = Negative If it's a negative + a positive, it depends on the numbers. For example: -2 + 1 = -1 -107 + 213 = 106
Is it always true that two negatives make a positive?
Adding two negative numbers will always be negative. Subtracting two negative numbers may be positive or negative. Dividing or multiplying two negative numbers will always be positive.No
Why multiplication of negative numbers equals positive?
When you multiply any number by a negative number you reverse its sign. So positive numbers become negative, and negative numbers become positive. That is the meaning of negative multiplication; it is reversal. This is similar to the way that adding a negative number has the same effect as subtracting a positive number. Negative is the opposite of positive.
