When adding two rational numbers,if a pair of addends has opposite signs ,then the sum will have the sign of the addenda with the greater  value among the two.

These examples can better illustrate this concept:
Example 1:
23 + (-3) = 20 (The greater among the two is positive and the result is also positive)

Example 2:
-23 + 3 = -20 (The greater among the two is negative and the result is also negative)
