Example 1:+5 - +2Step 1:The opposite of +2 is -2.Step 2:Subtraction becomes addition.Solution:+5 - +2 = +5 + -2 = +3
When subtracting positive and negative integers, the key rule is to convert the subtraction into addition. Specifically, subtracting a negative integer is the same as adding its positive counterpart (e.g., ( a - (-b) ) is the same as ( a + b )). Conversely, subtracting a positive integer means you move to the left on the number line (e.g., ( a - b )). Always remember that subtracting a positive results in a decrease, while subtracting a negative results in an increase.
Integers are whole numbers, both positive and negative. Therefore, adding and subtracting integers would be adding and subtracting whole numbers. Examples: 8+2 -8+2 8-2 -8-2
When subtracting integers, the result is equivalent to adding the opposite of the integer being subtracted. Specifically, for any integers ( a ) and ( b ), the statement ( a - b ) can be rewritten as ( a + (-b) ). This means that subtracting an integer is always the same as adding its negative.

Let x and y be two integers. x - y = x + (-y)
if the signs are the same you must add its opposite.
what are some examples of subtracting integers
adding and subtracting integers is when you add and minus 2 numbers
if they are two positive numbers, do it normally.If there is a negative and a positive, change it to addition and switch the SECOND integer sign. Only works with two integers in a subtraction question.Example: (-32)-(+2)= (-34) / (-32)+(-2)=(-34)
The subtacting integers is EWAN ko hahahah!!
Integers are whole numbers, both positive and negative. Therefore, adding and subtracting integers would be adding and subtracting whole numbers. Examples: 8+2 -8+2 8-2 -8-2

no.

I would think that the commonality of adding and subtracting integers is that the answer itself will always be an integer. In other words, the answer is always gonna be a "whole number".
They become positive integers for instance - - 2 = 2
