Evalute :
Remember, to subtract (-) an integer (-2), you add (+) its additive inverse (that's 2).
And to add two integers with different signs (-8 + 2), you subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value (|-8| - |+2| = 8 - 2 = 6) and the result takes the sign of the larger absolute value (-8 = negative}.
= -6
