No integers are specified in the question, although the answer would be any negative number less than -2 or any positive number greater than 2.

The absolute value of the answer will be greater than the absolute value of the original.
A vulgar fraction is one in which the absolute value of the numerator is greater than the absolute value of the denominator.
A negative integer is a number less than zero. In this case, -5 is greater than -9 because when comparing negative integers, the one with the higher absolute value is considered greater. In other words, -5 is closer to zero on the number line than -9, making it the larger negative integer.
At least one of the integers is negative.

When adding two integers, the answer will be positive if both integers are positive, or if one is negative but its absolute value is smaller than the absolute value of the positive integer.
The absolute value of the answer will be greater than the absolute value of the original.
A vulgar fraction is one in which the absolute value of the numerator is greater than the absolute value of the denominator.
Every positive integer ( n ) has two integers that share the same absolute value: ( n ) and ( -n ). The only integer that has the same absolute value as itself and does not have a corresponding negative is ( 0 ), since ( |0| = 0 ). Therefore, for any integer ( n \neq 0 ), there are two integers with the same absolute value, and for ( n = 0 ), there is just one. In total, there are two integers for each non-zero integer and one for zero.
The sum of two positive integers is positive. The sum of two negative integers is negative. The sum of one positive integer and one negative integer has the same sign as the addend with the greater absolute value. If the absolute values of the two addends are equal, the sum is zero.
A vulgar (not vulgal!) fraction is one in which the absolute value of the numerator is greater than the absolute value of the denominator.
There is no systematic pattern: it can be smaller than, equal to or greater than one or both integers.
To add integers with unlike signs, first determine the absolute values of both integers. Then, subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger one. The result takes the sign of the integer with the larger absolute value. For example, when adding -3 and 5, you subtract 3 from 5, resulting in 2, which is positive.
Symbols like inequality signs (>, <) and absolute value can help order sets of integers by providing a clear method to compare their magnitudes. Absolute value measures the distance of an integer from zero, regardless of its sign, allowing for straightforward comparisons between positive and negative numbers. By converting all integers to their absolute values, one can easily determine their order based on size. This approach simplifies the process of ranking integers, especially when dealing with a mix of positive and negative values.

The sum of two integers is positive whenever the integer with the larger absolute value is positive. The sign of the other one doesn't matter.
