Question

If signs are the same in addition, what is the

rule?

Example 6 + 6 =
(-6) + (-6)

Answer 1

6 plus 6 is 12 and 6 plus 6 is 12 so you subtract which would be 6 positive

Explanation:

When adding two numbers with like signs, add the values and keep the common sign. When adding two numbers with unlike signs, subtract the values and use the sign of the larger-valued number. Change the subtraction operator to addition and change the sign of the number that immediately follows.
