Fundamental Operations with Integers  (A)

Principle of Signs:    (+3) = + + +     (–4) = – – – –    (+5) = + + + + +    (–2) = – –

Principle of Opposites:  (+3) + (–3) = 0     (–4) + (+4) = 0    (+5) + (–2) = +3    (+3) + (–7) = –4

Addition ( Combining of Signs )

Same Signs => Combine Values  with  Common Sign                        Different Signs =>
Apply Principle of Opposites
