Formulas of ch integers
Answers
Answer
We always start at zero. Our first number is negative four (-4) so we move 4 units to the left. We then have plus negative three (-3) which is the same as subtracting 3 so we move 3 more units to the left. This gives us the value of negative seven, (-7).
−4+(−3)=?−4+(−3)=?
−4−3=−7−4−3=−7
We do the same thing if we have a positive integer, but instead we move to the right.
−4+3=?−4+3=?
−4+3=−1−4+3=−1
You can also add integers and variables.
Example
13x+(−2)x=?13x+(−2)x=?
13x−2x=13x−2x=
(13−2)x=11x(13−2)x=11x
When subtracting something from something we wish to find out the difference between the two numbers. When you subtract a negative number from any number the difference is even bigger. The distance from the seabed at a depth of 150ft and an airplane flying at 3000ft altitude at sea level is
3000−(−150)=3000+150=3150ft.3000−(−150)=3000+150=3150ft.
Thus when we subtract negative numbers, we get:
4−(−3)=4+3=74−(−3)=4+3=7
Subtracting −3 is the same as adding 3.
If we have a plus sign before the parentheses then we will not change the signs within the parentheses
If we have a minus sign before the parentheses then we the signs within the parentheses will change.
Two negatives make one positive!
