Integers
and
the
Number
Line
Remember,
integers
are
the
set
of
posiSve
and
negaSve
whole
numbers
and
zero.
How
do
you
determine
which
is
the
greater
of
two
numbers,
by
using
a
number
line?
Quite
simply,
the
number
that
is
furthest
to
the
right
along
the
line
is
the
larger
of
the
numbers.
For
example,
7
>
6
and,
by
the
same
rule,
‐2
>
‐10.
Absolute
Value
Before
taking
a
look
at
addiSon
and
subtracSon
of
integers
(posiSve
and
negaSve
whole
numbers),
we
should
first
understand
absolute
value.
The
absolute
value
of
a
number
is
its
distance
from
zero
on
the
number
line.
For
example,
the
absolute
value
of
4
is
equal
to
4
(or
|4|
=
4),
because
4
is
4
units
from
zero.
In
the
same
way,
the
absolute
value
of
‐4
or
|‐4|
=
4.
So…
What
is
|‐7|?

Find
the
absolute
values…
1. |‐13|
=
2. |3|
=
3. |‐1|
=
4. |9|
=
5. |‐23|
=
6. Which
number
has
an
absolute
value
of
11?
7. Which
number
has
an
absolute
value
of
150?
Find
the
absolute
values…
1. |‐13|
=
13
2. |3|
=
3
3. |‐1|
=
1
4. |9|
=
9
5. |‐23|
=
23
6. Which
number
has
an
absolute
value
of
11?
Both
‐11
and
11.
7. Which
number
has
an
absolute
value
of
150?
Bother
‐150
and
150.
How
do
we
add
signed
numbers?
To add integers with the same sign:
Add
the
numbers
and
acach
the
same
sign
to
the
answer.
Example
1:
8
+
13
=
(+8)
+
(+13)
=
21
=
+21
because
8
+
13
=
21
and
the
sign
is
posiSve.
Example
2:
‐3
+
(‐5)
=
‐8
because
3
+
5
=
8
and
the
sign
is
negaSve.
A
number
line
can
be
useful
to
visualize
this:
Example
3:
‐4
–
9
=
‐4
+
(‐9)
=
‐13
because
4
+
9
=
13
and
the
sign
is
negaSve.
REMEMBER:
subtracSng
is
the
same
as
adding
a
negaSve!
Find
the
sum…
1. ‐3
+
‐4
=
‐3
–
4
=
‐7
2. ‐5 + ‐4 = ‐5 – 4 = ‐9
5. ‐31
–
13
=
‐31
+
‐13
=
‐44
How
do
we
add
signed
numbers?
To add integers with opposite signs:
Subtract
the
smallest
from
the
largest
number
and
acach
the
sign
of
the
number
with
the
greatest
absolute
value.
Example
1:
‐5
+
11
=
‐5
+
(+11)
=
6
because
11
–
5
=
6
and
we
take
11’s
sign
(+).
Example
2:
2
+
(‐12)
=
(+2)
+
(‐12)
=
‐10
because
12
–
2
=
10
and
we
take
12’s
sign
(‐).
Example
3:
6
–
9
=
6
+
(‐9)
=
‐3
because
9
–
3
is
6
and
we
take
9’s
sign
(‐).
REMEMBER:
subtracSng
is
the
same
as
adding
a
negaSve!
Find
the
sum…
1. ‐8
+
9
=
9
–
8
=
1
2. 15 + ‐6 = 15 – 6 = 9
3. ‐13 + 5 = ‐ (13 – 5) = ‐8
4. 41 + ‐22 = 41 – 22 = 19
5.
‐57
+
18
=
‐(57
–
18)
=
‐39

A
construcSon
worker
was
4
feet
under
the
ground.
He
went
up
10
feet.
How
many
feet
is
the
construcSon
worker
above
ground?
6. The
temperature
in
Alaska
was
4°C
at
1:00AM.
The
temperature
decreased
2°C
per
hour.
What
was
the
temperature
at
5:00AM?
7. A
submarine
descended
3
feet
per
minute.
If
the
surface
of
the
water
is

would
the

be
aker
