1. When adding two integers, what will the sign of the sum be if: c. one integer is positive and one integer is negative?

Step-by-step explanation:

The largest absolute value gets the sign.

To use an example

4 - 8

Think money for a moment. You have 4 dollars in your pocket. You owe your mother 8 dollars. Where are you?

You should think you are 4 dollars in debt. That being the case, the sign of the answer is minus.

4 - 8 = -4  Eight is the largest number if its absolute value is taken. Absolute value means you turn it positive and subtract.

Suppose the question is

-9 + 5   Again money. You have 5 dollars in your pocket, but this time you owe mom 9 dollars

She wants her -4 dollars right now.
