Because an integer is a whole number and the sum of any two or more whole numbers is always a whole number.
An integer is just a whole number, excluding zero. Any positive integer will always have an opposite just by placing a negative sign in front of the positive integer. You can also say that any negative whole number is an integer.
If we define "opposite" as the additive inverse, the sum is zero.
the positive integer
the opposite of a sum is the difference
yes
The sum of any integer ( n ) and zero is ( n ).
The sum of zero and any integer is never zero.And it's still 'integer', not 'interger'.
If by "opposite" you mean its additive inverse, the answer is 0. If by "opposite" you mean its multiplicative inverse, for the number x, it will be (x+1/x).
The sum of any one number is itself.
The opposite integer of 4 is -4?
If the opposite is meant to be the additive opposite and not the multiplicative opposite, then their sum is zero. The reason is that is what defines an additive opposite!

Yes, the sum of two negative integers is always negative.
