ADDING INTEGERS    1.  If the sign are the same ( + and +)  (- and -), find the sum of the absolute values, and use the common sign for the sign of the answer        - 4 + - 5 = -9              The absolute value of -4 = | -4| = 4                                          The absolute value of -5 = | -5| = 5                                                   4 + 5 = 9                          7 + 3 = 10    2.   If the sign are different  ( + and -)  (- and +),  find the difference (subtract) of the absolute values, and use the sign of the term with the largest absolute value for the sign of the answer           - 4  +  5 =  1          The absolute value of -4 = | -4| = 4                                          The absolute value of 5 = | 5| = 5                                                   5 - 4 = 1              7  +  - 3 = 4           The absolute value of 7 = | 7| = 7                                          The absolute value of  -3 = | - 3| = 3                                                   7 - 3 = 4

SUBTRACTING INTEGERS     1.  Change the subtraction sign to addition and the sign of the second term to its opposite.   Then follow the above rules for addition.         5 - (-3) =        5  +  (+3) =                     Now follow the rules for addition        - 5 - ( - 3) =         -5 +  ( + 3) =                   Now follow the rules for addition
