1. Additional Example 1A: Modeling Integer Addition
Use a number line to find each sum.
–7 + (–4)
+(–4) –7 2
–14 –12 –10 –8 –6 –4 –
Start at 0. Move left 7 spaces. Then move left
4 more spaces.
–7 + (–4) = –11

2. Additional Example 1B: Modeling Integer Addition
Use a number line to find each sum. – 19
–12
–12 –10 –8 –6 –4 –
Start at 0. Move left 12 spaces. Then move
right 19 spaces.
– = 7

5. Adding Integers
To add two integers with the same sign, find the sum of their absolute values. Use the sign of the two integers.
To add two integers with different signs, find the difference of their absolute values. Use the sign of the integer with the greater absolute value. 5

6. Additional Example 2A: Adding Integers Using Absolute Values
Find each sum.
–4 + (–9)
The signs are the same. Find the sum of the absolute values.
–4 + (–9)
Think:
Use the sign of the two integers.
–13 6

7. Additional Example 2B: Adding Integers Using Absolute Values
Find each sum.
23 + (–35)
The signs are different. Find the difference of the absolute values.
23 + (–35)
Think: 35 – 23 = 12.
Use the sign of the integer with the
greater absolute value.
–12 7

8. Signs are the same. Find the sum of the absolute values. 13 + 24 = 37
Check It Out: Example 2A
Find each sum.
–13 + (–24)
Signs are the same. Find the sum of the absolute values = 37
Use the sign of the integers: –37 8

9. Signs are different. Find the difference of the absolute values.
Check It Out: Example 2B
Find each sum.
11 + (–12)
Signs are different. Find the difference of the absolute values.
12 – 11 = 1
Use the sign of the integer with the greater absolute value: –1 9

10. Additional Example 3: Evaluating Expressions with Integers
Evaluate x + y for x = –42, y = 71.
x + y
Substitute for x and y. –
The signs are different. Think = 29
Use the sign of the integer with the
greater absolute value (positive). 29
When adding integers, think: if the signs are the same, find the sum. If the signs are different, find the difference.
Helpful Hint

11. Check It Out: Example 3A
Evaluate x + y for the given values.
x = –24, y = 17 –
Signs are different. Find the difference of the absolute values.
24 –17 = 7
Use the sign of the integer with the greater absolute value: –7

12. Check It Out: Example 3B
Evaluate x + y for the given values.
x = –6, y = 15
–6 + (–15)
Signs are the same. Find the sum of the absolute values.
= 21
Use the sign of the integers: –21

13. Additional Example 4: Application
The jazz band’s income from a bake sale was $286. Expenses were $21. Use integer addition to find the band’s total profit or loss.
286 + (–21)
Use negative for the expenses.
Find the difference of the
absolute values.
286 – 21
265
The answer is positive.
The band earned $265.

14. Check It Out: Example 4
The French Club was raising money for a trip to Washington D. C. Their car wash raised $730. They had expenses of $52. Use integer addition to find the club’s
total profit or loss.
730 + (–52)
730 – 52 = 678
The club’s profit was $678 14
