When you add integers, you generally move forwards on the number line if you are adding positive integers and backwards if you are adding negative integers. For example, adding 3 to 5 moves you forward to 8, while adding -2 to 5 moves you backward to 3. The direction depends on the signs of the integers involved.

How you add two integers if they have different signs?

If asked to add 8 and -2, we would start by moving eight units to the right of zero. Then we would move two units left from there because negative numbers make us move to the left side of the number line since our last positive is six units to the right of zero, the answer is 6with negatives its basically going backwards, for example, (-2)+ 17=15 just go backwards.


What is the rule in adding positive integers?

Adding IntegersTo add integers, one must consider the following two rules to be a successful.If you want to think of it on the number line you start from 0 and when you add a positive number you go that much to the right, and when you add a negative number you go that much to the left. When adding two positive integers, just add like normal. When adding one positive integer, and one negative integer, it is like subtracting a positive number from a positive number. When adding two negative integers, it is like subtracting a positive number from a negative number.


How does BC go backwards or forwards?

BC, or "Before Christ," denotes years before the traditional date of Christ's birth, while AD, or "Anno Domini," refers to years after. In this system, the years count down as they approach year 1 BC (e.g., 2 BC is followed by 1 BC), and then transition into AD, where the years count up starting from AD 1. Thus, the timeline moves backwards in BC and forwards in AD, with no year zero between the two.


What numbers make a palidrome?

Palindromic numbers are those that read the same backwards as they do forwards. There are thousands of examples - depending on how high you want to go. Here's a few - I'll let you work out some others... 1001, 2112, 13431, 27100172, 101101101101
