If the signs are the same, add
normally and keep that sign.
EXAMPLES:
5 + 7
= 12
A tip for adding
integers: It's like counting
on a number line. When
you add a positive, you
go to the right. When
you add a negative,
you count to the left.
-12 + -10
= -22
Different Sign
If the signs are different, subtract and
take the sign from the bigger number.
EXAMPLES:
-25 + 30
= 5
4 + -18
= -14
