Same rules as adding whole numbers with different signs.
Then you are adding two rational numbers with different signs! No big deal!
If the two numbers have different signs, then the result will be negative. If the two numbers have the same signs, the result will be positive. This assumes all the numbers are non-zero.
You add as normal , pretend as if the signs weren't there,but the answer will be a negative!
-You must memorize -To add 2 integers with different signs, find the difference of their absolute value -To subtract an integer, add it's opposite

Temporarily ignore the signs and multiply or divide as usualIf signs of the two numbers to be multiplied or divided, add + sign to your answer. If signs are different, add - ( minus) to your answer.+ signs are optional-- a number without a sign is assumed to be positive.

Adding two numbers with different signs means subtracting the two absolute integers (without sign) and vice versa.
-- Temporarily ignore the signs. -- Add the numbers without their signs. -- Give the sum the same sign as the original two numbers have.
The value of the quotient of two integers with different signs is the same as if the signs were the same. Because the numbers have different signs, the quotient is negative.
We look at the signs of numbers when we need to combine them. We subtract only if numbers have different signs, otherwise we add them. So that, if we have in an expression several positive and negative numbers, we prefer to group numbers with the same sign and add them in order to subtract just once. While with fractions we like to group fractions with the same denominator first, and after that we can combine all fractions by finding their LCD.
If you are talking about same numbers but different signs then there are a lot. such a l-4l = l4l because they are the same amount of space to the zero.
If both numbers are positive, simply add them as you learned in 4th grade. If both numbers are negative,simply add them but add a minus to the answer. If one is positive and the other negative, ignoring the signs,subtract the smaller from the larger and add the sign of the larger to your answer.
