You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the sum of what integer and 181 is equal to -236
\n" ); document.write( "n + 181 = -236
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 181 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "n = -236 - 181
\n" ); document.write( "Remember the law of signs, when the signs are the same, you add them
\n" ); document.write( "n = -238 - 181 = -417
\n" ); document.write( "then going back to the original equation n = -417, we have
\n" ); document.write( "-417 + 181 = -236,
\n" ); document.write( "(the signs are different so we substract, the solution takes the sign of the larger number)
\n" ); document.write( ":
