6+7=13 two positive numbers

-6+(-7)= -13 two negative numbers

• If numbers have different signs we subtract, and we copy the sign of the number with the greatest absolute value.

-6+7=1, 7 has a greater absolute value than -6

6+(-7)= -1, -7 has a greater absolute value than 6

Tomorrow we wil complete the skill practice and continue with subtraction of integers.
