Standard Procedure for Aggregating Consistent Data Signs
Imagine you are a department supervisor training a new administrative assistant to reconcile monthly expense reports. You notice they are unsure how to total two separate line items that are both recorded as negative integers (representing two different debts). To ensure they follow the correct mathematical protocol, state the formal rule for adding two integers that have the same sign. In your response, clearly specify the action taken regarding the absolute values and how the sign of the final sum is determined.
