Rule: The sum of two negative integers is a negative integer.Rule: The sum of two positive integers is a positive integer.Procedure: To add a positive and a negative integer (or a negative and a positive integer), follow these steps:1. Find the absolute value of each integer.2. Subtract the smaller number from the larger number you get in Step 1.3. The result from Step 2 takes the sign of the integer with the greater absolute value.
For each pair of such integers, find the difference between the absolute values of the two integers and allocate the sign of the bigger number to it.
In Real numbers, each is the additive inverse of the other.
it is the distance from 0 on a number line. the absolute value of something is never negative
The absolute value is used in the calculation of mean absolute deviation to eliminate negative differences. By taking the absolute value of each difference, it ensures that all values are positive, allowing for an accurate measure of the average deviation from the mean.
The examples show that, to find the of two integers with unlike signs first find the absolute value of each integers.
In each case the difference is twice the absolute value and the absolute value of -3 and +3 (which is 3) is smaller than the absolute value of -4 and +4 (which is 4).

The absolute value of a number can be represented by vertical lines by the side of each number. For example, the absolute value of -3 would be represented by |-3| .
Positive and negative integers are opposite each other.
The absolute value is used in the calculation of mean absolute deviation to eliminate negative differences. By taking the absolute value of each difference, it ensures that all values are positive, allowing for an accurate measure of the average deviation from the mean.
They have opposite signs.
You take the value of the first, and take it away from the second, and depending on the signs that are similar (positive/negative) they can cancel and override each other.
So the absolute value of a number is simply the positive value of a given number. (In our basic number system each number has both a positive and negative value such as -6 and 6). If you are dealing with basic numbers, simply drop the negative sign if there is one, or leave the number as is if there isn't, and you have the absolute value. |x| means the absolute value So |-6| = 6 and |5| = 5 So while -6 is less than 5, |6| (absolute value of -6) is larger than 5 :)
