The answer depends on which binary operation you mean when you say "combining". Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponentiation, etc.
The value of the quotient of two integers with different signs is the same as if the signs were the same. Because the numbers have different signs, the quotient is negative.
To add two integers with unlike signs: -- Find the difference between their sizes, ignoring their signs. -- Give the difference the sign of the integer with the larger size.
-- Ignore the signs for a moment. -- Find the difference of the two integers. -- Give it the sign of whichever integer is the bigger number.
They become positive integers for instance - - 2 = 2
The examples show that, to find the of two integers with unlike signs first find the absolute value of each integers.

-- write the difference between the integers without regard to their signs -- give the difference the same sign as the larger of the two integers

if the signs are the same you must add its opposite.
When their signs are the same.
- Always, if the two integers are both positive. - Sometimes, if the two integers have different signs. - Never, if the two integers are both negative.
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)
for integers with tow different signs, it will always be negative in multiplying and division. for adding and subtracting, the sign is for the bigger number.
