How do you add and subtract integers with opposite signs?
You would use the reverse operation for a negative integer being added or subtracted.To add a negative integer, subtract its absolute value (positive value).Example : 4 + (-3) = 4 - (3) = 1To subtract a negative integer, add its absolute (positive) value.Example : 4 - (-2) = 4 + 2 = 6Beginning with a negative, adding a negative increases the negative value.Example : (-4) + (-3) = -7Subtracting a negative reduces the negative value.Example (-4) - (-1) = (-3) * this is the same as (-4) + 1 = (-3)

How do you add and subtract negative decimals?
The same way you'd add any other negative numbers. Adding a negative is the same as subtracting, and subtracting a negative is the same as adding. (-2) + (-2) = (-4) (-2) - (-2) = 0 you are wrong if you add or subtract two negitives its always a positive dont you know your math. And the second problem you have is wrong to because when you subtract two negitives you change the sign of the secong number to positive and you change the subtraction sign to a addition sign.
How to subtract like and unlike sign?
well, if it is a negative plus a positive, it would be much like subtracting backwards, like this: -4+7=3 or -11+7=-4 also, if it is a positive plus a negative, you subtract 4+(-7)=-3 or 11+(-7)=4
What does a fraction equals if it is a positive and a negative being added?
Depends on how big they are. The resulting number could be positive or negative. Negative 1/4 and Positive 1/2 will be a Positive 1/4. Positive 1/4 and Negative 1/2 will be a Negative 1/4.
