Absolute Value
ihe absolute value of a number is

its distance from 0 on a number line. ihe absolute
value of a number a is written as |a|.

|-3| = |3| = 3
 ey Concept -- por Your Notebook

 @ 
ords Numbers
Same Signs -- Add the absolute values 3+5=8
and use the common sign.
-3 + (-5) = -8
Different Signs -- Subtract the lesser
absolute value from the greater absolute -7 +10 = 3
value. Then use the sign of the number
with the greater absolute value. 7 + (-10) = -3

Opposites -- The sum of an integer and

its opposite is 0. This property, written
as a + (-a) = 0, is called the inverse -2 + 2 = 0
property of addition.

pind the Sum:
a) -4 + (-7) = b) -8 + 3 = c) -6 + 9 =

-4 + (-7) = -8 + 3 = -6 + 9 =
Both numbers have The numbers have The numbers have
the same sign. Add different signs. -8 has different signs. 9 has
the absolute values, the greater absolute the greater absolute
use the common sign, value, so I know the value, so I know the
in this case it is answer is going to be answer is going to be
negative. negative. negative.

-4 + (-7) = -11 -8 + 3 = -5 -6 + 9 = 3
