How to make mashed potatoes


If you are a Romanian then you know how to make mashed potatoes. The first step to make mashed potatoes is to get as many potatoes as you need. The next step is to peel the potatoes. Next you need to wash it. You then fill a pot up with water and put it on the stove (with parent supervision of course). You let the water boil the potatoes. Don't forget to add salt (if you want to). When they're done take it off the stove. You then put in a bowl and take out milk, butter and anything else you want to put in. You take out a hand mixer or a manual mixer. You mix in the ingredients (not to much milk). Finally you are finished!

Adding Integers

These are many ways to add integers. One way for example -5 + -3 = -8. When you are adding integers, you add the numbers. The way you get the symbols (negative and positive) is you get it from the big number. In other words the sign of the big number. The answer is -8 because 5+3 = 8. Then you add the sign of the big number ( -5, so -).
