Integer Rules

1) Addition and subtraction rules for integers state that if signs are the same, add the numbers and keep the sign, and if signs are different, subtract the numbers and take the sign of the larger number. 2) Multiplication rules are that a negative times a negative is a positive, a negative times a positive is a negative, and a positive times a positive is a positive. 3) Division rules follow the same pattern as multiplication rules, with a negative divided by a negative being positive, a negative divided by a positive being negative, and a positive divided by a positive being positive.

INTEGER RULES

Addition & Subtraction Rules


1. When the signs are the same, add the numbers and keep the sign. 7 + 8 = 15 -7 + -8 = -15 2. When the signs are different, subtract the numbers and take the sign of the larger. -7 + 8 = 1 7 + -8 = -1 Note: When there is a minus sign, change the minus sign to addition, change the sign of the number that follows it and follow the rule that applies. 78 7 + -8 = -1

Multiplication Rules
1. Negative Negative = Positive - 6 -2 = 12 2. Negative Positive = Negative -6 2 = -12 3. Positive Positive = Positive 6 2 = 12

Division Rules
1. Negative / Negative = Positive - 6 / -2 = 3 2. Negative / Positive = Negative - 6 / 2 = -3 3. Positive / Positive = Positive 6/2=3

Exponents Rules
1. A negative number raised to an even power is positive. (-2)2 = -2 -2 = 4 2. A negative number raised to an odd power is negative. (-2)3 = -2 -2 -2 = -8

Substitution Principle
If two quantities are equal, then one quantity can be substituted for the other quantity. Simplify the following algebraic expressions; when x = 3, y = -5 Algebraic Expressions 1. x + y = (3) + (-5) = -2 2. xy = (3)(-5) = -15 3. y2 = (-5)2 = 25 Hint: When substituting, always protect your numbers by placing them inside parentheses.

Integer Song Same sign add and keep Different signs subtract Take the sign of the larger number Then it'll be exact. Change the minus to a plus Change the sign of the next Then all you do is add them up As if they were a plus.
