The way to think of negative numbers is to think "How far away from 0 am I getting?" In other words, if you go -5, you are going further than if you go -2 because 5 is more than 2 and you're going backwards, away from 0. That means that -2 is a larger number (closer to 0).
The answer will take on the sign of whichever numeral is greater, regardless of sign. 5 + -3 = 2 5 is greater than 3, the answer is positive. 5 + -7 = -2 7 is greater than 5, the answer is negative.
Negative 3 is greater than negative 5
