What are the rules in adding subtracting multiplying and dividing integers?
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.
What are the rules of addition?
If you mean integers, well if you have two integers of the same sign that you are adding, add and the sign stays the same. If you have different signs, subtract and keep the sign of the one that has more. Regular numbers you just add them.
How do you find the sum of two integers with different signs?
-- write the difference between the integers without regard to their signs -- give the difference the same sign as the larger of the two integers
What is the rule for adding integers with different signs?
If it is two negative numbers then you add: ex: -7 + -5 = -12 If it is two different signs, then you subtract: ex: -8 + 2 = -6 Can you see which one is the larger absolute value? 8 is larger than 2 so it is negative.
What are two different integers with different signs that the sum of negative 25?
1 and -26 is one possible answer.
