    This document provides instructions on how to add real numbers. It explains that to add two numbers with the same sign, you add their absolute values and keep the original sign, while to add numbers with different signs you subtract the absolute values and keep the sign of the number with the larger absolute value. Examples are given of adding various real numbers on a number line or otherwise to demonstrate the rules of addition.

    Rules of Addition:

    To add two numbers with the _______________________ sign:

    1. Add their ________________________________________________.

    2. The sum has the _____________________ sign as the numbers added.

    Ex. (-5) + (-7) =

    To add two numbers with __________________________ signs:

    1. Subtract the ______________________________ absolute value.

    2. The sum has the _______________________ sign as the number with the _____________________
    absolute value.

    Ex. -10 + 4 =

    Example 2. Find the sum.

    a. -2.5 + (-4.2) b. 10.5 + (-15.6) c. -8 + 12

    On your own:

    1. Use a number line to find the sum.

    3 + (-8) =

    2. Find the sum.


    a. (-7) + (-3) b. 9.6 + (-2.1) c. -4.3 + 8.5
