LECTURE 1
Representing Absolute Value of a Number on A Number Line
The absolute value of a number is the distance of a number from zero. Remember distance
itself is always positive. The absolute value of a number n is written as |𝑛|.
 If x is a positive integer, then the absolute value of x is x.
In symbol: |𝑥|= x, if x >0
Example:
|7| = 7 since 7 is a positive integer, then the absolute value of 7 is 7.
 If x is equal to zero, then the absolute value of x is x.

In symbol: |𝑥|= x, if x =0
Example:
|0| = 0 since 0 is equal to 0, then the absolute value of 0 is 0.

 If x is a negative integer, then the absolute value of x is the opposite of x. In symbol: |−𝑥|= x, if x <0
Example:
|−10| = 10 since -10 is a negative integer, then its opposite integer is 10.

In writing the absolute value of a number, just write the numerical part.
The absolute value of 5 is 5, in symbol |5| = 5
The absolute value of -5 is 5, in symbol |−5| = 5

Let’s Illustrate!
Represent the following absolute value of a number on a number line.
1. |𝟔|

Solution:

Since 6 is 6 units from zero, the absolute value 6 is 6. In symbol, |6| = 6.

2. |𝟎|

Solution:

The absolute value of 0 is 0. In symbol, |0| = 0

3. |−𝟑|
Solution:

Since -3 is 3 units from zero, the absolute value of -3 is 3. In symbol, |−3|= 3

LECTURE 2
ADDITION OF INTEGERS
Study the following examples:
A. Addition Using Number Line
1. Use the number line to find the sum of 6 & 5.

On the number line, start with point 6 and count 5 units to the right. At what point on the number line
does it stop? It stops at point 11; hence, 6 + 5 = 11.

2. Find the sum of 7 and (-3)

On the number line, start from 7 and count 3 units going to left since the sign of 3 is negative. At what
point on the number does it stop? It stops at point 4; hence, (7) + (-3) = 4.

Operations of integers can be performed using different ways. As to addition of integers, let’s make use
of signed tiles and the rules.

Addition of Integers Using Signed Tiles

Now, when we combine one with one , they will cancel each other.
However,

when we combine one with another , they will appear as .

Let’s Try!
1. Combine and
Since the first 4 tiles are positive and the next 5 tiles are also positive. Therefore, they will appear a

In symbol: 4 + 5 = 9

2. Combine and
Since the first 3 tiles are negative and the next 4 tiles are also
negative. Therefore they will appear as
In symbol: (-3) + (-4) = -7

3. Combine and
Since the first 5 tiles are positive and the next 3 tiles are negative. Then the 3 positive tiles and 3 negative
tiles will cancel each other.

Therefore the remaining will appear as

In symbol: 5 + (-3) = 2

ADDITION OF INTEGERS USING THE RULES:

Rule 1: When the integers have like signs, add the numbers and copy the common sign.
Example:
1. 8 + 5 = 13 Notice that 8 is positive and 5 is also positive, they have like
signs. So add 8 and 5 then copy the common positive
sign. Therefore, the answer is positive 13 or 13.

2. (-10 ) + ( -9 ) = -19 Notice that 10 is negative and 9 is also negative, they have like
signs. So add 10 and 9 then copy the common negative
sign. Therefore, the answer is negative 19 or -19.

Rule 2: When the integers have unlike signs, subtract the numbers and use the sign of the number with
the greater absolute value.
Example:
1. (-2) + 4 = 2 Notice that 2 is negative while 4 is positive, they have unlike
signs. So subtract 2 from 4 then copy the sign of 4 since
it has the greater absolute value. Therefore, the answer
is positive 2 or 2.

Let’s do more!
a. 38 + (-20) = (38 - 20 ) Subtract the numbers
= 18 Since the sign of the number with the greater absolute value is
positive, the answer is positive.
b. (-42) + 16 = (42 - 16 ) Subtract the numbers
= -26 Since the sign of the number with the greater absolute value is
negative, the answer is negative.
c. -14 + 22 + (-16) + 8
= -14 + (-16) + 22 + 8 Combine the numbers with like signs
= -30 + 30 Subtract the numbers with unlike signs.
=0

LECTURE 3
Subtraction of Integers
Subtraction Rule
To subtract two integers, add the opposite or additive inverse of the subtrahend to the minuend. That is, if a and
b are any two integers, then a – b = a + (-b). Then, follow the rules for addition of integers.
1. Keep Change Change (KCC)
 Keep the 1st integer the same
 Change the subtraction sign to addition
 Change the sign of the second integer

2. Follow the rules for addition

 When the signs are the same (like sign), ADD and keep the sign.
 When the signs are different (unlike sign), SUBTRACT and copy the sign of the number with the greater
absolute value.

5. Find the difference in altitude between a mountain 3 900 feet high and a valley 785 feet below sea level.

Solution:

Land that is below sea level is considered to have negative altitude. Hence, the valley is said to have an
altitude of -785 feet. The difference in altitudes between the mountain and the valley is found by subtracting -
785 ft. from 3 900 ft.

3 900 ft. – (-785 ft.)

3 900 ft. + 785 ft. = 4 685 ft.
The difference in altitude between a mountain and valley below sea level is 4 685 ft.

LECTURE 4
Multiplication of Integers
We will learn about the multiplicand and multiplier. The number to be multiplied is called the
multiplicand. The number with which we multiply is called the
multiplier. The numbers to be multiplied are called factors. Express the multiplication
rules, with (+) stands for a
Example: Multiply 20 by 2 positive number, and (-)
stands for a negative
20 → Multiplicand number, in the following
x2 → Multiplier Factor
cases.
40 → Product
a. (+) (+)
The result obtained is called product. b. (-) (-)
c. (-) (+)
We learned that with whole numbers, multiplication is repeated addition. d. (+) (-)

Now, let us start our discussion on the rules in multiplying integers.

Rules in Multiplying Integers
1. When you multiply two numbers with the same sign, the product is positive.
(+)(+) = (+) (-)(-) = (+)

2. When you multiply two numbers with different signs, the product is negative.
(+)(-) = (-) (-)(+) = (-)
3. Any number multiply by 0 gives a product of 0.
(0) (any number) = 0 (any number) (0) = 0

The following examples illustrate further how integers are multiplied.

Example 1. Multiply (6) (9)
Solution: (6) (9) = 54 The product is positive because the sign of the factors are the same.

Example 2: Multiply (-7) (-6)

Solution: (-7) (-6) = 42
The product is positive because the sign of the factors are the same.
Example 3: Multiply (-8) (5)
Solution: (-8) (5) = -40
The product is negative because the sign of the factors are different.
Example 4. Multiply (5) (-2)
Solution: (5) (-2) = -10
The product is negative because the sign of the factors are different.
Example 5: Multiply (0) (10)
Solution: (0) (10) = 0
The product is zero because any number multiply by zero gives a product of zero.

LECTURE 5
Division of Integers
In this module, you will learn on how to divide integers. There are terms that are special to division
that we should be familiar with.
 Quotient – the answer when we divide
 Dividend – the number being divided
 Divisor – the number being divided into something
We have learned that Subtraction is the inverse operation of Addition, In the same manner, Division is the
inverse operation of Multiplication. Now, let us start our discussion on division of integers.

Rules in dividing integers

(+)÷(+)=+ (−)÷(−)=+
1. When two numbers with the same sign are divided, the quotient is always positive.

(−)÷(+)=− (+)÷(−)=−
2. When two numbers with different signs are divided, the quotient is always negative.

3. The rules for dividing zero by a nonzero number and for division by zero still hold.
(0) =0 (any number) = undefined
(nonzero number) (0)

Example 1: Find the quotient of 45 ÷ 5.

Solution:
Since division is the inverse of multiplication, determine what number multiplied by (5)
produces (45).
Hence (5) (9) = 45
Therefore: 45 ÷ 5 = 9

Example 2: Find the quotient of (-51) ÷ (-3).

Solution:
Since division is the inverse of multiplication, determine what number multiplied by (-3)
produces (-51).

If we ignore the signs for the meantime, we know that (3) (17) = 51
We also know that in order to get a negative product, the factors must have different signs. Hence (-3)
(17) = -51
Therefore: (-51) ÷ (-3) = 17

Example 3. What is (-57) ÷ 19?

Solution: 19 x 3 = 57
Hence 19 x (-3) = -57
Therefore: (-57) ÷ 19 = -3
Example 4: Show why 273 ÷ (-21) = -13
Solution: (-13) x (-21) = 273
Therefore: 273 ÷ (-21) = -13

Example 5: Tom played golf at an amusement park. His scores on the first five holes were -1, +1, -2, -1and -2.
What was his mean (average) scores for these holes?
Solution:
To find the mean, divide the total score by the number of holes.
−1+ 1+ (−2 ) + (−1 ) +(−2) −5
= =−1
5 5

Tom’s mean score for the first five holes was -1.
