Properties of Addition
Closure Property
The sum of two integers is always an integer.
For any two integer's p and q, \[\Rightarrow p+q\] is an integer.
For example \[\left( -\text{ }4 \right)+3=\left( -\text{ }1 \right),\] Which is an integer.
Commutativity
Sum of two integers is commutative.
For any two integers p and q,\[~\Rightarrow p+q=q+p,\] for example \[7+\left( -6 \right)=1\]and \[\left( -\text{ }6 \right)+7=1,\] therefore \[7\text{ }+\text{ }\left( -\text{ }6 \right)\text{ }=\text{ }\left( -6 \right)+7\]
Associativity
We addition of integers is associative. For any three integers p, q and r, \[p+\left( q+r \right)=\left( p+q \right)+r,\]
