LaoThe sum can be either positive or negative.
-- The absolute value of the sum is the difference between the two original numbers.
-- The sign of the sum is the same as the sign of the original number that has the larger absolute value.
5+(-2)=3
4+(-5)=-1
As you see, a positive plus a negative can be either a negative or a positive. In order to figure out, the sign with the larger absolute value will be the outcome. For example, the outcome of 9+(-1) will be a positive number because the absolute value of 9 is greater than of -1. The answer will be 8, a positive number.
