Create Free AccountWhen adding integers with different signs, subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger and keep the sign of the number with the larger absolute value. For example: -3 + 8 = 5 (since 8 > 3, the result is positive).
Subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive. Think of it as "two negatives make a positive." For example: 5 - (-3) = 5 + 3 = 8.
