Question

Add without using a number line.

$\left(-14\right)+\left(6\right)$

Answer 1

To add two integers of opposite signs, you need to find the difference in their absolute values and put the sign of the one with the greater absolute value.

Here $\left(-14\right)$and $\left(6\right)$ are of opposite signs.

Therefore we find the difference between their absolute value.

Hence, $\left(-14\right)+\left(6\right)=-8$
