Same Sign = Find the Sum

Different Sign = Find the Difference

Since the signs are the same $(- -)$ $(- -)$ , we find the sum

$- 3 - (- 5)$ $-3-(-5)$ $=$ $=$ $- 3$ $-3$ $+$ $+$ $5$ $5$

Next, use the number line and start at $- 3$ $-3$ , then add $5$ $5$ by moving right $5$ $5$ places

$- 3$ $-3$ $+ 5$ $+5$ $=$ $=$

$- 3 + 5$ $-3+5$ $=$ $=$ $2$ $2$

Same Sign = Find the Sum

Different Sign = Find the Difference

Since the signs are different $(+ -)$ $(+ -)$ , we find the difference

$4 + (- 6)$ $4+(-6)$ $=$ $=$ $4$ $4$ $-$ $-$ $6$ $6$

Next, use the number line and start at $4$ $4$ , then subtract $6$ $6$ by moving left $6$ $6$ places

$4$ $4$ $- 6$ $-6$ $=$ $=$

$4 - 6$ $4-6$ $=$ $=$ $- 2$ $-2$
