You need the rules of multiplication as well as of addition. But multiplication of integers can be viewed as repeated addition. Thus, if p/q and r/s are two rational numbers then their sum is(p*s + q*r)/(q*s)
The set of integers is closed under addition so that if x and y are integers, then x + y is an integer.Addition of integers is commutative, that is x + y = y + xAddition of integers is associative, that is (x + y) + z = x + (y + z) and so, without ambiguity, either can be written as x + y + z.The same three rules apply to addition of rational numbers.
The answer also has the same sign.
Integers are whole numbers. 1 3/4 is not a integer whereas 1 is.
-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
