1.2 Basic Operation Involving Integers

1) The document discusses adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing integers. It provides rules for determining if the answer will be positive or negative depending on the signs of the numbers. 2) Multiplying or dividing numbers with the same sign will result in a positive answer, while multiplying or dividing numbers with different signs will result in a negative answer. 3) Absolute value symbols make everything positive by disregarding the negative sign and keeping the positive value.

2 basic Arithmetic Operation


involving Integers
This lesson explains how to add and subtract
negative numbers.

Problem: You want to buy a house that costs $100,000. You only
have $5,000. If you buy the house, what will your debt be?

5,000
- 100,000
-95,000

If you spend more money than you have, you go into debt. Debt is a
good example of working with negative integers.
Integers
Lesson # 1 - Addition & Subtraction
Negative numbers are like a debt.
Positive numbers move to the right on the number line.
Negative numbers move to the left on the number line.
If you have 8 dollars, and then you get 2 dollars, you have 10 dollars.
 8 + 2 = 10
-10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

If you have 8 dollars, and then you lose 2 dollars, you have only 6 dollars.
 8-2=6
-10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

If you are 8 dollars in debt, and then you get 2 dollars, you are only 6 dollars in
debt.
 -8 + 2 = -6
-10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

If you are 8 dollars in debt, and then you lose another 2 dollars, you are 10
dollars in debt.
 -8 - 2 = -10
-10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Integers
Lesson # 1 - Addition & Subtraction
Use these hints to help work problems.
If both numbers are negative, add the numbers, then make the answer negative.
-8 – 2  -(8 + 2) = -10

When one sign is positive and one sign is negative, subtract the
numbers and take the sign of the larger.
8 – 2 = 6 (“8” is positive, so the answer is positive)
2 – 8 = -6 (think “8-2” and take the sign of the larger number, “8”)

Examples:
++  9 + 2 = 11
--  -9 – 2 = -11 Try using this chart:
+-  9 – 2 = 7
-+  -9 + 2 = -7 Integer Addition/Subtraction
++  Add
--  Add
+-  Subtract
-+  Subtract
Always use the sign of the largest
number for the sign of the answer

Lesson # 1 - Addition & Subtraction
Try it yourself

3+6=9 -3 – 6 = -9 3 – 6 = -3 -3 + 6 = 3

4+7= -4 – 7 = 4–7= -4 + 7 =

7+4= -7 – 4 = 7–4= -7 + 4 =

5+1= -5 – 1 = 5–1= -5 + 1 =

10 + 20 = -10 – 20 = 10 – 20 = -10 + 20 =

Click for answers:


4 + 7 = 11 -4 – 7 = -11 4 – 7 = -3 -4 + 7 = 3
7 + 4 = 11 -7 – 4 = -11 7–4=3 -7 + 4 = -3
5+1=6 -5 – 1 = -6 5–1=4 -5 + 1 = -4
10 + 20 = 30 -10 – 20 = -30 10 – 20 = -10 -10 + 20 = 10
Integers
Lesson # 1 - Addition & Subtraction

If there are 2 signs next to each other, rewrite the


problem with just one sign.

To subtract a negative number, the 2 negatives make a positive.


8 – (-2)  8 - -2  8 + 2 = 10
Adding a negative number is the same as subtraction.
8 + (-2)  8 + -2  8 – 2 = 6

We don’t usually write the The parentheses are only


positive sign, but you could if you there to keep the signs
separate. You can remove
wanted to: them if you want to.
8 + 2  (+8) + (+2)
8 – 2  (+8) – (+2) or (+8) + (-2)
Integers
Lesson # 1 - Addition & Subtraction
Try it yourself

3 – (+6)  3 – 6 = -3 -2 – (-4)  -2 + 4 = 2

4 – (-2) = -8 + (-3) =

-10 + (-3) = 10 – (+2) =

9 + (+2) = -7 – (-3) =

Click for answers:


4 – (-2) = 6 -8 + (-3) = -11
-10 + (-3) = 7 10 – (+2) = 8
End of Lesson 12 9 + (+2) = 11 -7 – (-3) = -4

Lesson # 2 – Multiplication, Division, &
Absolute Value
This lesson explains how to
multiply and divide negative numbers,
plus the absolute value sign,||.

Problem: You are $30 in debt. If your debt is increased 2 times, how
much is your debt?

-30 x 2 = -60

Multiplying by a negative number is multiplying your debt.


Integers
Lesson # 2– Multiplication, Division, &
Absolute Value
Some simple rules will help you when multiplying negative numbers. The
rules are the same for division.
 If there is one negative number, then the answer is negative.

 If two numbers are negative, then the answer is positive.

8 x 5 = 40 40 ÷ 8 = 5 If the signs are the same = positive answer.


If the signs are different = negative answer.
-8 x 5 = -40 -40 ÷ -8 = 5
8 x -5 = -40 -40 ÷ 8 = -5 Integer Mult./Division
++  Answer is +
-8 x -5 = 40 40 ÷ -8 = -5 --  Answer is +
+-  Answer is -
-+  Answer is -

 If you have more than 2 numbers, the rule is:


 An odd number of negative #s = negative answer
 An even number of negative #s = positive answer
(-1 )x (-2) x (-3) x (4) = -24 (3 negative #s)
(-1) x (-2) x (-3) x (-4) = 24 (4 negative #s)
Integers
Lesson # 2 – Multiplication, Division, &
Absolute Value
The absolute value symbols “| |” make everything positive.

To work an absolute value problem, first work everything inside


the absolute value symbols.
Then, make it positive.

| -10 | = 10
| 10 | = 10
| 6 x -3 | = 18 |3–7| = | -4 | =4
Work inside the symbols | 3 – 7 |= | -4 |
Now, make it positive  | -4 | = +4
Integers
Lesson # 2 – Multiplication, Division, &
Absolute Value
Try it yourself

2x3=6 -2 x 3 = -6 2 x -3 = -6 -2 x -3 = 6

6x8= -6x8= 6 x -8 = -6 x -8 =

7x4= -7 x 4 = 7 x -4 = -7 x -4 =

54  6 = -54  6 = 54  -6 = -54  -6 =

|-8 x 3| = |5 x (-2) – 1| = 2 x |3 – 9| = |-12  -4| =

Click for answers:


6 x 8 = 48 - 6 x 8 = -48 6 x -8 = -48 -6 x -8 = 48
7 x 4 = 28 -7 x 4 = -28 7 x -4 = -28 -7 x -4 = 28
54  6 = 9 -54  6 = -9 54  -6 = -9 -54  -6 = 9
|-8 x 3| = 24 |5 x (-2) – 1| = 11 2 x |3 – 9| = 12 |-12  -4| = 3
