Objectives
● How will you find the sum of integers with the same sign
and different signs?
Integers
1 the combination of the set of whole numbers and the negative counterparts of
natural numbers
Example:
Learn about It!
Positive integers
2 integers greater than zero
Example:
Learn about It!
Negative integers
3 integers less than zero
Example:
Learn about It!
4 Zero
integer that is neither positive nor negative
Example:
Example:
Solution:
1. Find the absolute values of the addends.
Try It!
2. Since the addends have the same sign, add the absolute
values.
Therefore, .
Try It!
Solution:
1. Find the absolute values of the addends.
Try It!
3. Affix the sign of the integer with the larger absolute value.

● How do you solve for the sum of integers with the same
sign or different signs?
● Now that you have learned how to find the sum of signed
integers, can you do the same with finding their
difference?
