The sum of two positive integers is positive.
The sum of two negative integers is negative.
The sum of one positive integer and one negative integer has the same sign as the addend with the greater absolute value. If the absolute values of the two addends are equal, the sum is zero.

It can be any of those, depending on what the two integers (not intergers) are.

What are the three categories of integers?
The set of integers is divided into three subsets. One is the positive integers. Another is the negative integers. The last subset has one element -- zero. In sum, integers are composed of the positive integers, the negative integers, and zero.
The sum of a positive integer and a negative integer is always sometimes or never zero?
If the integers are the same, then the sum is always zero.If the integers are different, then the sum is never zero.If there's no rule governing the choice of integers, then the sum is sometimes zero.By the way . . . we're talking about 'integers', not 'intergers'.
Is the sum of 2 negative integers never positive?
The sum of two negative integers is never positive.
Do the sum of 2 positive integers equal zero?
The sum of two positive integers can never equal zero.
Is it never always or sometimes the sum of two positive integers is zero?
The sum of two positive integers is never zero. The sum of two numbers a and b can only be zero if a=-b, or a=0 and b=0. Since 0 is not a positive integer, and a and b cannot both be positive integers if a=-b, then it is impossible for the sum of two positive integers to be zero. _______________________________________________________________ The above answer is correct. Here is another way to say it: An integer is any whole number including negative numbers, positive numbers and zero. However, a "positive integer" is a whole number greater than zero. The "sum of two positive integers" means you are adding two numbers greater than zero together. Therefore, the sum of two positive integers can never be a negative integer, and can never be zero. Example: 1 + 1 = 2
When you add two positive integers their sum is always a positive integers when you subtract two positive integers is their difference always a positive integer?
diffrence will always be positive except when it is zero but is you speak of substraction operation it can be positive negative or zero
Is the sum of two positive integers positive or negative?
The sum of two positive integers is always positive.
Is the sum of a positive integer and a negative integer is always zero?
Only when the integers are the same but otherwise no.
Is the sum of two negative integers is a positive?
yes . same positive, different integers are a negative.
What is the sum of2 integers positive negitine or zero hoe can you tell?
The sum of two positive integers is always positive.
Is the sum of a positive and negative number always positive?
No. Such a sum can be positive, negative or zero.
Are the sum of two negative integers positive?
No. Two negative integers added together will never equal a positive integer. It is the product of two negative integers that is positive.
When do you get a sum of 0 in adding integers?
When the sum of all the positive integers in the sum is exactly matched (in magnitude) by the sum of all the negative integers.
The sum of two negative integers is a positive integer?
No, the sum of two negative integers is not a positive integer. For example, if you add -5 and -6 together the sum would be -11.
Is the sum of two integers with the same sign positive or negative?
if the 2 signs are negative, than the sum is negative. if the 2 signs are positive, than the sum is positive.
What are two positive integers that have a sum of -18 and a product of 88?
Two positive integers cannot have a sum which is negative!
Is the sum of two integers is always positive?
No . Since an integer can be a negative number, it's possible for the sum of two integers to be negative.
How can you predict the sign of the sum of a positive and a negative integer before you add the numbers?
If the absolute value of the positive integer is greater than the absolute value of the negative integer, then the sum of the two will be positive.If the absolute value of the positive integer is less than the absolute value of the negative integer, then the sum will be negative.If the absolute values of the two integers are the same then the sum will be zero, which has neither a negative nor a positive sign.
When you add two positive integers will the sum always be positive or negative?
It will always be positive.
How can you decide if the sum of two numbers is positive negative or zero without calculating the sum?
The sum of two negative numbers is positive and the sum of two negatives is negative. If you have both positive and negative numbers the sum can be either so look at the absolute value. If the negative number has a greater absolute value, the sum is negative. If the positive number has a greater absolute value the sum is positive. If the absolute values are equal, the sum is zero.
Is the sum of two negative integers always positive?
no. eg. -2 + -9 =-11 <<this is negative if you were to multiply two negative integers, you would get a positive integer.
Is the sum of two integers always positive?
No. Since an integer can be a negative number, it's possible for the sum of two integers to be negative.
