8. When finding the sum of a positive and a
negative integer you subtract the
magnitudes and keep the sign of the
integer with the largest magnitude.
14. Positive Integers
To add two positive integers you add the
magnitude and keep the positive sign.
Negative Integers
To add two negative integers you add the
magnitude and keep the negative sign.
A Negative and a Positive Integer
To add a positive and a negative integer you
subtract the magnitudes and keep the sign of
the integer with the largest magnitude.
22. (+2) x (+4) =
(+2) x (+4) = +8
This means you have two sets of four positive
tiles or you have earned two groups of four
dollars.
23. (+2) x (-4) =
(+2) x (-4) = -8
This means you have two sets of four negative tiles or
you have two bills that you owe,each bill is for four
dollars.
24. (-2) x (-4) =
(-2) x (-4) = +8
This means you don’t have two sets of four
negative tiles or you don’t owe two bills, each bill is
for four dollars.

If there is an even
number of negative
signs, the product is
positive
If there is an odd
number of negative
signs, the product is
negative
