The sum or difference will take the sign of whichever number is larger (disregarding the signs).
-6 + 8 = 2
6 + -8 = -2
8 - (-6) = 14
-8 - 6 = -14
Adding two numbers with different signs means subtracting the two absolute integers (without sign) and vice versa.
Subtracting integers involves changing the subtraction operation to addition by using the additive inverse. For example, subtracting a positive integer is the same as adding its negative counterpart. Additionally, when subtracting two integers with different signs, the result is determined by finding the difference of their absolute values and applying the sign of the integer with the larger absolute value. Lastly, subtracting a negative integer effectively increases the value, as it is equivalent to adding a positive integer.

Adding and subtracting integers is a specific case of adding and subtracting rational numbers, as integers can be expressed as rational numbers with a denominator of 1. The fundamental rules for adding and subtracting integers—such as combining like signs and using the number line—apply similarly to other rational numbers, which can include fractions and decimals. The operations are governed by the same principles of arithmetic, ensuring that the properties of addition and subtraction, such as commutativity and associativity, hold true across both integers and broader rational numbers. Thus, mastering integer operations provides a solid foundation for working with all rational numbers.
They become positive integers for instance - - 2 = 2
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.
Adding two numbers with different signs means subtracting the two absolute integers (without sign) and vice versa.
Adding integers, if they have the same sign, add their absolute values and keep the same sign. Subtracting, change the sign of the 2nd number and the add using rules of addition. Multiplying and dividing, Divide the absolute values, if the signs are the same the answer is positive, if the signs are different the answer is negative.
OVER 9000!

You could be adding numbers that have different signs. Just a guess.
if the signs are the same you must add its opposite.
They become positive integers for instance - - 2 = 2
Subtracting: Positive - Negative = Positive Negative - Positive = Negative No that is not the way it goes. It is positive+negetive=either counting on which integer is bigger negative+negative=positive positive+positive=positive positive x negetive=negative negative x postitve= negative negative/positive=negative positive/negative=negetive thanks The top is right though because subtracting a negative is like adding so you could never get a negative and subtracting from a positive from negative will always be a negative. The question was for integers with different signs so you don't need to do "positive + positive"
Ignore the signs and subtract the smaller number from the larger one.
If you're adding a positive amount, keep the + sign; if you're adding a negative amount, multiply the + and - signs to convert it into a subtraction. Example: 4 + (-5) = 4 (+*-) 5 = 4 - 5 = -1
It helps if you put the positive one first. Then, if you realize that adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive, the rest is easy. 7 + (-3) = 7 - 3 = 4 3 + (-7) = 3 - 7 = -4
