you subtract the two numbers and keep the highest number sign
Ex. -10+7=-3 Ex. 10-(-5) " add a line and change the sign"
10+5= 15
and if you need more help just ask ^_^
ANY positive number is greater than any negative number. Imagine you are digging a hole, and piling up the dirt you remove from the hole. The hole represents negative numbers- it goes lower than the surface. The piled up dirt represents positive numbers- it is higher than the surface. The surface is zero- neither positive or negative.

Positive numbers are greater than negative numbers. Decimals can be either positive or negative.
the answer could be negative or positive depending on whether the negative number you're adding is bigger than the positive number
What do you mean by "higher?"They are smaller than positive numbers since they are to the left of positive numbers on the number line.Beyond that, not sure what you mean.
When the absolute value of the negative number is higher than the positive number.
the positive number of a atom
Yes. to subtract a negative is to add that number, so the number will be higher than the first number which is positive and can't go below zero.
When the absolute value of the negative number is higher than the positive number.
The absolute value of a number is how far away it is from zero on a number line. Any negative number that is higher than a positive number without its negative sign is larger with absolute value.

A negative number is less than a positive number. Think about it this way: a negative number is less than 0. A positive number is greater than 0. Therefore, a negative number must be less than a positive number.

No, positive numbers do not always have a higher absolute value than negative numbers. The absolute value of a negative number is equal to its positive equivalent. For example, the absolute value of -3 and 3 is both 3.
