The rules to adding integers *if the same sign add the numbers and keep the sign *if different signs subtract the numbers and keep the sign of the bigger number
For example 5+6=11 because it's the same sign But if you had 8+-12 it would equal negative 4 because they have different signs and the bigger # is negative
You can also add the numbers * add the numbers and take the sign of the first # for example: -1-+3 you change the sign of the first number and of the minus sign so it equals negative 4
