Answer:

To find the sum of a positive and a negative integer, take the absolute value of each integer and then subtract these values. The result takes the sign of the integer with the larger absolute value. The sum of any integer and its opposite is equal to zero.

Answer with explanation:

Absolute value of any number=Always Positive

⇒Suppose,a and b are two integers.Then

|a|-|b|

--If a> b, then |a|-|b|=a-b, will be Positive.

--If, a<b, then |a|-|b|=a-b, will be Negative.

→If we calculate

|a|+|b|=a+b

it will be always positive.
