Adding Integers


If you don't know what integers are, pay close attention, because you will fall behind.

Integers - a set of whole numbers and their opposites.

Say you have -7 and you what it to be an integer; take off the sign and it will become a positive. Your answer will be 7.

That was simple, let's continue. Now, that you know what an integer is, we can move on to problems.

Example

-22+-4+-26

Now that you understand how to solve integer problems, we can move on to more difficult problems.

-22+-18+22= -19

If you did not understand the concept, here's a link to show you more about it. GOOD LUCK!
