Example Question #21 : How To Add Integers
Find the sum of 
Let's add the left side first.
We get 
The difference is 
Therefore, 
Example Question #22 : How To Add Integers
Find the sum of 
Let's work from left to right. Since there are negative numbers, we compare their values without the sign. 
The difference and answer is 
We will continue this problem using the same method. Since there are negative numbers, we compare their values without the sign. 
The difference and final answer is 
Therefore, 
Example Question #23 : How To Add Integers
Find the sum of 
Let's work from left to right. Since we are adding two negative numbers, the sign becomes negative and the overall answer is negative. We will then treat this section of problem as normal addition.
The sum is 
Now we add to a positive 
The final sum is 
Therefore,

There is a negative sign present. When that happens, we compare the numbers. Since 
Example Question #28 : How To Add Integers
Solve.
There is a negative sign present. When that happens, we compare the numbers. Since 
Example Question #24 : How To Add Integers
Solve.
There is a negative sign present. When that happens, we compare the numbers. 
Example Question #25 : How To Add Integers
Solve.
When a plus and minus are together, the sign changes to negative. When adding two negative numbers, we treat as addition but keep the minus sign in the end. The answer is
