The number line for adding integers The number line is a line labeled with the integers in increasing order from left to right, that extends in both directions: For any two different places on the number line, the integer on the right is greater than the integer on the left. Examples: 9 > 4, 6 > -9, -2 > -8, and 0 > -5
In the following examples, we convert the subtracted integer to its opposite, and add the two integers = 7 + (-4) = (-5) = 12 + (5) = = -8 + (-7) = (-40) = (40) = 18
Examples of adding Integers = 7 (-7) + (-2) = -(7 + 2) = -9 (-80) + (-34) = -( ) = -114
