1 answer

To explore adding two negative integers, you just combine their absolute values and keep the negative sign.

For (-1) + (-5):

  1. Find the absolute values: |−1| = 1 and |−5| = 5.
  2. Add the absolute values: 1 + 5 = 6.
  3. Since both integers are negative, the sum is negative: -6.

So, (-1) + (-5) = -6.
