Adding Integers

There are two cases when adding Integers or signed numbers.

Case I - Integers with the same sign.

Ex 1: -3 + -4

-3 + -4 = -7

Case II- Integers with the different sign.

Ex 2: -5 + 7 Ex 3: 4 + -9

-5 + 7 = 2 4 + -9 = -5

You try it!

1) -7 + 32)3)

4) 19.31 - -4.58 5) -58 + -276) 62 + -35

7) Use the number lines, to find the sum of each problem.

-4 + 9 = ___

-3 + -8 = ___

SUBTRACTING INTEGERS

Case I: Integers with the same signs.

Ex 1: -4 - 6

Step 1: Since the integers have the same sign, you can just add them!

Step 2: -4 + -6

Step 3: -4 - 6 = -10

Case II: Integers with the Different signs.

Ex 2: -3 - -5

Step 1: -3 + 5

Step 2: -3 + 5 = 2

You try it!

1) -4 - 32) 3) 8 - -5

4) -9.36 – 5.25) -50 - 386) -35 - 35

7) Use the number lines, to find the difference of each problem.

4 - 12 = ___

-6 - (-3) = ___

-2 - 4 = ___
