∙ 13y agoDepends on the two numbers, eg. if its -5+2 your answer would be -3. But if your adding -4+8, your answer would be 4.
*But when your multiplying a + by a - , the answer is always negative.

No- adding negative numbers is like adding positive numbesr , except the answer is negative.
the answer could be negative or positive depending on whether the negative number you're adding is bigger than the positive number
adding or subtracting them, that would depend on the magnitude of the values; multiplying or dividing would yield a negative product or quotient
A positive integer

Negative plus Negative would equal positive in Maths. like this: -7 + -8 = 1 Because you're adding a minus It Will Not Equal a Positive it will Equal a Negative. -7+-8= -15. Because you are adding a negative to another negative. If the problem was -7+8= 1. Because you are taking seven out of that eight. If It were to be multiplication than a negative TIMES a negative would have been a positive(-8 x -7=56). And a negative TIMES a positive would be a negative (-8 x 7=-56).
No, that is not true.

It is the same thing, since "integers" consists of positive and negative numbers (and zero).
When you add: a negative and a negative: you get a negative a positive and a positive: you get a positive a positive and a negative or a negative and a positive: Subtract the addend with the smaller value from the greater one. If the greater one is positive, your answer will be positive. If the greater addend is negative, your answer will be negative.
If you are adding a positive number, then this is the same as normal addition. For instance, 4 add positive 5 is 9. negative 1 add positive 8 is 7. If you are adding a negative number, then this is the same as subtracting that number. For instance 6 add negative 1 is 5. negative 7 add negative 2 is negative 9.
Say you're adding -2+(-2). Adding negative two is equavilant to subtracting positive two. Both -2+(-2) would be -4. I hope that made sense.
Subtracting a negative is like adding a positive; the result will be positive.
