think of negative numbers as cold

and positive numbers as hot

then

if you add  cold into a room the room gets coder - so  + -    =  -

If the signs of the numbers are both negative, then add the numbers and keep the negative sign.

If the signs of the numbers are different, then subtract the numbers and keep the sign of the larger number.
