Because that is how the opposite of a number is defined.
when you add two positive integers the answer is always positive when you add two negative integers the answer is positive when you add one negative and on positive integer, the answer is negative subtracting two negative numbers gets a negative answer subtracting two positive numbers- the answer depends subtracting a negative and positive number- the answer depends, the positive number would have to be bigger than the negative to achieve a negative number, and if the positive number is less, than the answer is still negative
Adding two numbers with different signs means subtracting the two absolute integers (without sign) and vice versa.
Integers are whole numbers, both positive and negative. Therefore, adding and subtracting integers would be adding and subtracting whole numbers. Examples: 8+2 -8+2 8-2 -8-2
-You must memorize -To add 2 integers with different signs, find the difference of their absolute value -To subtract an integer, add it's opposite
adding and subtracting integers is when you add and minus 2 numbers
Some do, some don't. The operations are equivalent and people do what they are more comfortable with.
When adding negative integers, you subtract. (2+-1=1) When subtracting negative integers, you add. (2--3=5)
Because that is how the opposite of a number is defined.
if the signs are the same you must add its opposite.
what are some examples of subtracting integers
when you add two positive integers the answer is always positive when you add two negative integers the answer is positive when you add one negative and on positive integer, the answer is negative subtracting two negative numbers gets a negative answer subtracting two positive numbers- the answer depends subtracting a negative and positive number- the answer depends, the positive number would have to be bigger than the negative to achieve a negative number, and if the positive number is less, than the answer is still negative
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.
The subtacting integers is EWAN ko hahahah!!
