Lets add -7 and +5.

Step 1

Since one number is negative and the other is positive, we’ll use the different sign addition rule.

Explanation:

\$|-7|\$ = 7 and \$|5|\$ = 5
7 - 5 = 2

Step 2

The sign of the result will be the sign of the number with the larger absolute value, which in this case is -7 + 5 = -2.

Explanation:

Therefore, -7 + 5 = -2.
