Adding and subtracting integers • Same signs : Add and keep the sign • Different signs: Subtract and use the sign of larger number. • Examples – • (-2) + (-3) = -5 • 5 + (-3) = 2 • (-4) – 2 = -6
Multiplying and dividing integers • Same signs : Positive results • Different signs : Negative results • Examples: • (-3) * (-2) = 6 • 6 * (-4) = -24 • -6 / 2 = -3 • -10/-5 = 2
