Consider the absolute values (the numerical values ignoring the signs) of the two numbers. If these are equal then the sum is equal; otherwise the sum takes the sign of which ever number has the larger absolute value.
The result of adding two numbers is their sum.
if the 2 signs are negative, than the sum is negative. if the 2 signs are positive, than the sum is positive.
No. Adding negative numbers will make them more negative.
The sum can go either way. The sign of the sum will be the same as the sign of whichever original number is bigger (without regard for signs).
The term algebraic sum is used when the numbers you are adding include both positive an negative numbers. Ordinary sums are done with positive numbers only.
No
-- Temporarily ignore the signs. -- Add the numbers without their signs. -- Give the sum the same sign as the original two numbers have.

The sign of the sum is positive when the absolute value of the positive addend is greater than that of the negative addend.
if the 2 signs are negative, than the sum is negative. if the 2 signs are positive, than the sum is positive.
The sum of two positive numbers is always a positive number.
sometimes true (when the rational numbers are the same)
No. Adding negative numbers will make them more negative.
adding numbers together has the answer to the sum.
The sum of two numbers depends on their signs and relative magnitudes.Both positive: sum positive Both zero: sum zero Both negative: sum negative Larger magnitude positive, smaller magnitude negative: sum positive Larger magnitude negative, smaller magnitude positive: sum negative Same magnitude, one positive and other negative: sum zero.
