Integers

How to add integers

• If there is a positive and a negative subtract
• Put the bigger number’s sign
• Ex: -4+6= subtract 4 and 6
• The bigger number is 6 which is positive
• The answer is 2
• If they’re both positive, add normally

Subtracting integers

• If there are two numbers that are negative add then put the negative sign
• Ex: -4-6= -10
• If there are two subtracting symbols right next to each other then you change it to a positive sign and follow the adding integer rules
• Ex: -4-(-6)=-4+6= 2
