IDENTITY PROPERTIESIDENTITY PROPERTIES
There is a unique real number 0 such that:a + 0 = 0 + a = a
-3 + 0 = 0 + -3 = -3
For each For each aa, there is a unique , there is a unique real number real number – – aa such that: such that:
a + (-a) = 0a + (-a) = 0 and and (-(-aa)+ )+ aa = 0 = 0 (-(-aa)) is called the is called the oppositeopposite or or additive inverseadditive inverse of of aa
PROPERTY OF OPPOSITESPROPERTY OF OPPOSITES
Property of the opposite of Property of the opposite of a Suma Sum
For all real numbers a and b:-(a + b) = (-a) + (-b)
The opposite of a sum of real numbers is equal to the sum
of the opposites of the numbers.

Rules for AdditionRules for Addition
Addition Rules
1.1. If a and b are both If a and b are both positive, then positive, then
a + b = a + b = aa + + bb
3 + 7 = 103 + 7 = 10
Addition Rules
2.2. If a and b are both If a and b are both negative, then negative, then
a + b = -(a + b = -(aa + + bb))
(-6) + (-2) = -(6 +2) = -8(-6) + (-2) = -(6 +2) = -8
Addition Rules3.3. If If aa is positive and is positive and bb is is
negative and negative and aa has the has the greater absolute value, greater absolute value, then then
a + b = a + b = aa - - bb
6 + (-2) = (6 - 2) = 46 + (-2) = (6 - 2) = 4
Addition Rules4.4. If If aa is positive and is positive and bb is is
negative and negative and bb has the has the greater absolute value, greater absolute value, then then
a + b = -(a + b = -( b b - - aa))
4 + (-9) = -(9 -4) = -54 + (-9) = -(9 -4) = -5
Addition Rules
5.5. If If aa and and bb are opposites, are opposites, then then a + ba + b = 0 = 0
2 + (-2) = 02 + (-2) = 0
