Adding Integers

How do you determine the sign of the result when adding integers?

• The sign of the result is always positive.

• If both integers are negative, the result is negative.

• The sign of the result is determined by the larger integer.

• If one integer is positive and the other is negative, the result is always positive.

What is the result of -2 + (-3) + (-4)?

• -6

• -7

• -8

• -9

What is the definition of an integer?

• A whole number that can be positive, negative, or zero.

• A number that can only be positive.

• A decimal number that is not whole.

• A number that represents a part of a whole.

What is the result of -9 + (-11)?

• -18

• -20

• -22

• -15

How do you add a positive integer and a negative integer?

• Subtract the absolute value of the negative integer from the positive integer.

• Add the absolute values of both integers together.

• Multiply the positive integer by the negative integer.

• Ignore the negative sign and add the two integers.

What is the sum of -5 and -12?

• -15

• -17

• -12

• -10

What is the absolute value of a negative integer?

• It is always zero.

• It is the same as the negative integer.

• It is its distance from zero on the number line, expressed as a positive integer.

• It is the opposite of the negative integer.

What is the result of adding zero to an integer?

• The integer increases by one.

• The integer decreases by one.

• The value of the integer remains unchanged.

• The integer becomes zero.

What is the sum of -3, -7, and -5?

• -10

• -12

• -15

• -20

What is the principle of adding integers?

• Combining their values without considering their signs.

• Combining their values, taking into account their signs (positive or negative) to determine the final result.

• Adding only positive integers together.

• Subtracting negative integers from positive integers.
