Lesson 2 (Adding Integers)
In adding two integers with the same sign, first find the sum ignoring their signs and
then give the answer with the same sign.

EXERCISES 1
Do the following operations.
a) (−15) + (−23) =
b) (+14) + (+26) =
c) (−11) + (−7) =
d) (+8) + (+38) =
e) (−16) + (−25) =
f) (−19) + (−2) =
2
Example : Study the following examples.
a) (−5) + (+5) = 0
b) (+9) + (−9) = 0
If two integers have different signs and the same absolute value, the sum of the
numbers is zero.
b) 0 + (−9) = (−9)
