One number is positive and the other is negative.
Both numbers are negative.
Both numbers are positive.
The numbers are both non-integers.
The sign of the result is the sign of the number with the larger absolute value.
The sign of the result is always positive.
The result is zero.
The sign of the result is the sign of the smaller number.
The result is -2 because the negative number has a larger absolute value.
The result is 8 because both numbers add up directly.
The result is -8 because both numbers are integers.
The result is 2 because the positive number has a larger absolute value.
First, find the absolute values of both numbers.
Add both numbers directly, ignoring their signs.
Convert all numbers to positive values.
Determine the product of the numbers.
Add the absolute values together.
Subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value.
Switch the signs of both numbers.
Multiply the absolute values of the numbers.
The sum is -5 because the number with the larger absolute value is negative.
The sum is 5 because both are positive when ignoring signs.
The sum is -5 because signs do not matter.
The sum is 9 regardless of signs.
Because the result is always zero.
Because this eliminates the negative sign.
Because you are essentially finding the difference in magnitude between the two numbers.
Because this adds the numbers together.
No, it depends on which number has the larger absolute value.
Yes, adding them always results in a negative number.
No, if one number is even, it's positive.
Yes, because one is negative.
The result is 7 because the positive number dominates.
The result is -7 because the negative number has a larger absolute value.
The result is 13 by combining values.
The result is 0 since they cancel each other.
Their absolute values are equal.
One is double the other.
They both are odd numbers.
They cancel each other regardless of signs.
They provide the final sum directly.
They allow you to visualize incorrect sums.
They can help you see the distance and direction from zero for each number.
They can change the sign of numbers.
The sum is 3 because the positive number has a larger absolute value.
The sum is -13 by adding negatives.
The sum is zero when signs are ignored.
The sum is -3 since both numbers are integers.
Because signs can make numbers much larger.
Because the sign affects the direction and magnitude of the result.
Because they determine if numbers are multiplied.
Because signs increase the overall sum automatically.
It helps memorize all equations.
It guarantees correct addition every time.
It reinforces understanding of absolute values and the concept of direction in math.
It replaces the need for visual aids.
The sum is -35 as negatives are always subtracted.
The sum is 35 because both are added.
The sum is 5 because the positive number has a larger absolute value.
The sum is 0 since they are intense opposites.
