 RULES IN ADDING INTEGERS

When the signs are the same, ADD

and keep the sign.
When the signs are different,
SUBTRACT and use the sign of the
larger number.

RULES IN SUBTRACTING INTEGERS

KEEP the FIRST integer the SAME.

CHANGE the OPERATION to addition.
CHANGE the SIGN of the SECOND
integer.
Then follow the rules for addition.

 Subtracting using
Number Line
We can use the number line for
subtracting integers:

Add a positive integer by moving

to the right on the number line.
Add a negative integer by moving
to the left on the number line.

WORD PROBLEM
In Fairfield, Montana, on
December 24, 1924, the air
temperature dropped a record
amount. At noon, the
temperature was 63F. Twelve
hours later, the temperature
was 21F. What was the change
SOLUTION:
Change in temperature = end temperature -
start temperature
STEP 1. Substitute values. = -21 (+63)
STEP 2. Rules for subtracting integers.
= -21 + (63)
STEP 3. Add. = -84

ANSWER:
The change in temperature was -84F, so the
temperature dropped 84F.

WORD PROBLEM SOLUTION
Use integers to represent the two elevations.
Mount Everest: 8850 m Dead Sea: 410 m
Find the difference of 8850 and 410 meters.
8850 - (- 410)
=8850 + 410 Rule for subtracting
integers
=9260 Add.
ANSWER: The difference between the elevations
is 9260 meters.

meters below sea level. If it
descends 160 meters and
then ascends 390 meters,
what is its new position?
