How do you use the integer rule to simplify expressions with positive and negative numbers?
The integer rule states that when adding or subtracting integers, you combine numbers based on their signs. For addition, if the numbers have the same sign, you add their absolute values and keep the common sign. If they have different signs, you subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger one and take the sign of the number with the larger absolute value. For multiplication and division, a positive times or divided by a positive equals positive, a negative times or divided by a negative equals positive, and a positive times or divided by a negative equals negative.
What else can I help you with?
When does a positive integer and a negative integer equal a positive integer?
When they are added together and the absolute value of the positive integer is bigger than the absolute value of the negative integer or when the negative integer is subtracted from the positive integer.
When is the sum of a positive and negative integer negative?
When the absolute value of the positive integer is smaller than the absolute value of the negative one.
Is a negative integer times a negative integer equal to a positive integer?
Yes, and also a negative integer divided by a negative integer is equal to a positive number (but not necessarily an integer).
How do you get a negative integer with a positive integer and a negative integer?
As long as the negative integer is greater than the positive integer, a negative integer will result from addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Is the sum of a positive and negative integer always negative?
No. The sum of a positive integer and a negative integer has the same sign as the larger integer.
Is the product of a negative and positive integer a negative?
Yes. The product of a negative integer and a positive integer is a negative integer.
When is the sum of a positive integer and a negative integer positive?

Are decimals positive integers or negative integers?
A decimal can be a positive integer or a negative integer or neither of the above. For example: 26.0 is a positive integer. -52.0 is a negative integer. 26.2 is not an integer at all. 0.0 is an integer, but is neither positive nor negative.
