When adding rational numbers with different signs, you should:
**Subtract the numbers. Take the sign of the larger number.**
This means you find the absolute values of the two numbers, subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value, and then attach the sign of the number with the larger absolute value to the result.
