Question

subtraction of integers its acknowledgement
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step 1: Transform the subtraction of integers problem into the addition of integers problem. Here’s how:

First, keep the first number (known as the minuend).

Second, change the operation from subtraction to addition.

Third, get the opposite sign of the second number (known as the subtrahend)

Finally, proceed with the regular addition of integers.

Step 2: Proceed with the regular addition of the integers.

⊗ Note that you will eventually add integers. So for your convenience, here’s the quick summary of the rules on how to add integers.

Case 1:  Adding two integers having the same sign

Add their absolute values then keep the common sign.

Case 2:  Adding two integers with different signs

Subtract their absolute values (larger absolute value minus smaller absolute value) then take the sign of the number with the larger absolute value.
