adding and subtracting integers worksheets

In previous blog we talked about adding decimal calculator, in this post we will focus on adding and subtracting integers worksheets. While studying about the Adding and Subtracting Integers Worksheets, we simply need to understand the concept of Adding and Subtracting Integers, which is quite different from the addition and subtraction of the two numbers.
If we have two integers, whom we need to add or subtract, we need to first check, if the two integers are positive integers or the negative integers. There exist the series of rules for the addition and the subtraction of the integers. Let us first look at the addition of the two integers:
1.      If the two integers are positive, then the simple addition will be performed, and the result is a positive number. Eg : + 3 + 4 = + 7
2.      In case the two integers are to be added and the two numbers are negative numbers, then we will perform the addition of the two digits and the result will be a negative number.  – 2 + ( -4 ) = -6
3.      In case we are adding one positive and one negative number, then we will find the difference of the two digits and the sign of the larger number will be the sign of the resultant number.  +4 + ( -2 ) = +2 and   -4 + ( +2 ) = -2
Now if we subtract the two digits, which are integers, then simply we need to change the sign of the number to be subtracted and then it becomes the simple sum of addition and all the rules prevailing for addition will be applied on it. So if the problem is subtract  4 from -3, it is written as
-3 -4 and the result is  = -7 Ans.
