well, if it is a negative plus a positive, it would be much like subtracting backwards, like this: -4+7=3 or -11+7=-4 also, if it is a positive plus a negative, you subtract 4+(-7)=-3 or 11+(-7)=4
what's 8+15=
To add numbers algebraically means that you consider the sign, using the common rules of algebra. For example, adding (-5) is the same as subtracting the number 5.
to subtrct integers ,rewrite as adding opposites and use the rules for addtion of integers..

Adding integers, if they have the same sign, add their absolute values and keep the same sign. Subtracting, change the sign of the 2nd number and the add using rules of addition. Multiplying and dividing, Divide the absolute values, if the signs are the same the answer is positive, if the signs are different the answer is negative.
ADDING: same sign, add and keep that sign. opposite sides, subtract their absolute values and use the sign of the number with the larger absolute value SUBRTRACTING: change the sign of the subtrahend (2nd number) then ADD using rules above.
To add integers with like signs you jut put the positive in front of the answer (you just add and put a positive sign in front of it)

Rules: Unlike SignsSubtract the absolute value of the number and copy the sign of the number with greater absolute value.

the minus sign is used for subtraction in math. it shows that you are subtracting
The answer will have the same sign as the number with the larger magnitude.
