2. (−20) + (−15) = −(|20| + |15|)
= −(35)
= −35
B. If the integers have different signs, get the
difference of the positive equivalents of the
integers and attach the sign of the larger
number to the result neglecting the negative
sign.
1. 38 + (−20)
Get the difference between 38 and 20:
38 − 20 = 18
Since 38 is greater than 20, the sum will
have a positive sign. Hence; 38 + (−20) =
18.
2. (−42) + 16
Get the difference between -42 and 16:
42 − 16 = 26
Since 42 is greater than 16, the sum will
have a negative sign. Hence; (−42) + 16 =
−26.
3. If there are more than two addends in the
problem the first step to do is to combine
addends with same signs and then get the
difference of their sums.
a. (−14) + 28 + (−21)
= (−14) + (−21) + 28
= (−35) + 28
= −7
Subtraction of Integers
Earlier, you learned how to add integers.
For example, in adding 8 + (−5) = 3. In addition
5 + 3 = 8. In subtraction 8 − 5 = 3, which is the
same as 8 + (−5) = 3. So 8 − 5 = 8 + (−5). This
means that subtracting 5 from 8 is the same as
adding the opposite of 5 to 8.
As a rule, to subtract a number from a given
number, replace the number you are subtracting
by its opposite and then use the rule of in addition
of numbers
Example 1:
8 − 5 = 8 + (−5)
8 + (−5) = 3
Example 2:
−3 − 2 = −3 + (−2) = −5
Example 3:
−3 − (−4) = −3 + 4 = 1

activities will I give to students to take risks and try to figure out how to
the learners? simplify these expressions. If they got the wrong
answer, they can go back and try again. Every
correct answer corresponds to 3 points and 1 point
if wrong.
