It won't always result in a negative integer. Multiplyinga positive number and a negative number always results in a negative number. For example 3 x -2 = -6. Adding a positive number and a negative number can result in a negative number but it does not have to.
When adding a positive number with a negative number, we really subtract from the largest number in the absolute value the smallest number in the absolute value, and we keep the sign of the number with the larger absolute value. So the sign of the number with the larger absolute value will determine the sign of the answer.
Some examples:
10 + (-7) = 3
Here, 10 is the largest number in the absolute value, because |10| = 10, and |-7| = 7. So, 10-7=3. 3 will be positive since 10 was positive
7 + (-10) = -3
Here, -10 is the largest number in absolute value, because |-10| = 10, and |7| = 7. So, 10 - 7 = 3. 3 will be a negative number since -10 was negative number. Thus, the answer will be -3.
-10 + 7 = -3
-7 + 10 = 3
It all depends on whether the number with the larger absolute value is negative or positive. If it is positive then the answer will be positive. If it is negative then the answer will be negative. If the two numbers have an equal absolute value, then the result is zero, which is neither positive nor negative.
no sometimes there positive i
The difference between any numbers is always positive.
False.
Always.
Only when the integers are the same but otherwise no.
Yes because you are always adding.
Yes, because subtrating a negative number is the same thing as adding a positive number.
No, a positive minus a negative can be either or positive or a negative.
No. The sum of a positive integer and a negative integer has the same sign as the larger integer.
Negative
always a negative
always a negative
No
no sometimes there positive i
Yes.
sometimes
Not necessarily. That only applies if the positive integer is greater than the negative integer in absolute value.An integer.
