Rules for Adding Integers

Rule 1: In adding Integers

with the same sign, add
the integers and then
copy the common sign.
 Rules for Adding Integers

Rule 2: In adding integers

with different signs,
subtract the integers and
then copy the sign of the
integer with greater
absolute value.
Examples on adding integers
