The sum of a set of addends whose sign is the same is the sum of the absolute values of the addends with the same sign as the addends.
This is possible because the order of the addends does not matter. For example, 3+8 is the same as 8+3. No matter how you list the addends, the sum will always be the same.
If all addends are the same, or very near the same, you can take one of the addends and multiply it by the number of addends that exist, and you have the sum. For example: 100 + 101 + 99 + 102 + 100 + 103 + 98 = ? In this case, all addends are close to 100, and there are 7 of them. So, you can approximate the sum by saying: 100 * 7 ...which is 700.
You can change the grouping of the addends and the sum will stay the same
0+0 = 0
