It depends. To add numbers with different signs, you subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger. If the negative number has the larger absolute value, then the answer is negative, and vice versa.
For example:
(-2)+7=5
Because 7 is larger than 2.
The integer rule states that when adding or subtracting integers, you combine numbers based on their signs. For addition, if the numbers have the same sign, you add their absolute values and keep the common sign. If they have different signs, you subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger one and take the sign of the number with the larger absolute value. For multiplication and division, a positive times or divided by a positive equals positive, a negative times or divided by a negative equals positive, and a positive times or divided by a negative equals negative.
When adding a negative to a positive, the answer is positive if the positive is greater, and negative if the negative is greater. In other words, subtract the smaller from the larger and take the sign of the larger. Example: -7 + 9 = +2 Example: -9 + 7 = -2
When you multiply any number by a negative number you reverse its sign. So positive numbers become negative, and negative numbers become positive. That is the meaning of negative multiplication; it is reversal. This is similar to the way that adding a negative number has the same effect as subtracting a positive number. Negative is the opposite of positive.
it depends to the value of the number,when the greater value caries the positive sign,your answer must be positive,when it carries the negative sign,your answer is negative.
multiplying and dividing- positive * positive= positive positive * negative=negative negative *negative=positive subtracting- -3-6=? 1. freeze first number- -3 2.reverse the sign to a addition- -3+ 3.Reverse the sign of the number- -3+-6= -9 adding- keep the sign of the larger number, then add/subtract
Adding a negative number to a negative number makes a larger negative. In order to solve this you add the numbers together as a positive then add a negative sign.
positive times positive equals positive negative times negative equals positive positive times negative equals negative Substitute "divided by" for "times" in the previous sentences and they are still true.
Positive times negative equals negative.
The numbers can have a positive or negative sign.

Positive(+) times a Positive(+) equals a positive(+). i.e. 8x3=24 Negative(-) times a Negative(-) equals a positive(+). i.e. -3x(-5)=15 Positive(+) times Negative(-) equals a negative(-). i.e. 8x(-8)= -64 Negative(-) times a Positive(+) equals a negative(-). i.e. -15x4= -60

it depends to the value of the number,when the greater value caries the positive sign,your answer must be positive,when it carries the negative sign,your answer is negative.
The sign of the answer will always be a positive number because subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive (
A positive times a negative equals a negative.
When adding a negative number to a positive number, you are essentially subtracting the absolute value of the negative number from the positive number. The result will have the sign of the number with the greater absolute value. For example, -3 + 5 would be equivalent to 5 - 3, which equals 2.
