Adding Positive and Negative Integers with Absolute Value

This video tutorial explains how to add integers using absolute value, focusing on two main rules: one for integers with the same sign and another for integers with different signs. The video provides step-by-step examples and practice problems to help learners understand and apply these rules effectively. It encourages practice to make the process of adding integers second nature.

What is the first step when adding integers with different signs?

• Add the numbers directly

• Subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value

• Multiply the numbers

• Divide the numbers

If you have -8 and +5, what is the absolute value of -8?

• 8

• -8

• 5

• -5

When adding -14 and -12, what should you do after finding their absolute values?

• Add the absolute values together

• Multiply the absolute values

• Subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value

• Divide the absolute values

What is the result of adding -14 and -12?

• 26

• -26

• -2

• 2

What is the final step when adding integers with the same signs?

• Keep the sign of the larger absolute value

• Change the sign to positive

• Keep the original sign of the numbers

• Change the sign to negative

What is the result of adding 15 and -3?

• -18

• 12

• -12

• 18

What should you do if you have different signs, such as 4 and -9?

• Add the absolute values

• Subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value

• Multiply the absolute values

• Divide the absolute values

What is the result of adding -5 and 6?

• 1

• -1

• -11

• 11

What is the absolute value of -16?

• 0

• -16

• 1

• 16

What is the result of adding -10 and 6?

• 16

• -16

• 4

• -4
