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.
When adding two rational numbers with different signs the sum will be zero Is this aways sometimes or never true?
sometimes true (when the rational numbers are the same)
What are the basic rules for multiplying and dividing sign numbers?
Temporarily ignore the signs and multiply or divide as usualIf signs of the two numbers to be multiplied or divided, add + sign to your answer. If signs are different, add - ( minus) to your answer.+ signs are optional-- a number without a sign is assumed to be positive.
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.
Adding integers with different signs?
If you're adding a positive amount, keep the + sign; if you're adding a negative amount, multiply the + and - signs to convert it into a subtraction. Example: 4 + (-5) = 4 (+*-) 5 = 4 - 5 = -1
How do you add decimals with different signs?
Same rules as adding whole numbers with different signs.
IF you are adding two rational numbers with different signs?
Then you are adding two rational numbers with different signs! No big deal!
What are the rules for adding and subtracting numbers?
-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

What are the rules for adding integers if the signs are the same?
The answer also has the same sign.

How do you add or subtract integers with a different sign?
Adding two numbers with different signs means subtracting the two absolute integers (without sign) and vice versa.
