(i) 12, -5
So by subtracting the first integer from the second
-5 – 12 = - 17
(ii) – 12, 8
So by subtracting the first integer from the second
8 – (-12) = 8 + 12 = 20
(vi) 7560, - 8
So by subtracting the first integer from the second
-8 – 7560 = - 7568
(viii) 0, - 1005
So by subtracting the first integer from the second
-1005 – 0 = - 1005
(i) – 27 – (- 23)
So we get
= - 27 + 23
On further calculation
= 23 – 27
We get
=-4
(ii) – 17 – 18 – (-35)
So we get
= - 35 + 35
On further calculation
=0
4. Subtract the sum of – 1250 and 1138 from the sum of 1136 and - 1272.
Solution:
6. The sum of two integers is 238. If one of the integers is – 122, determine the other.
Solution:
It is given that
Sum of two integers = 238
One of the integers = - 122
So the other integer = - (-122) + 138
On further calculation
Other integer = 238 + 122 = 360

7. The sum of two integers is – 223. If one of the integers is 172, find the other.
Solution:
It is given that
Sum of two integers = - 223
One of the integers = 172
So the other integer = - 223 – 172 = - 395
(i) – 8 – 24 + 31 – 26 – 28 + 7 + 19 – 18 – 8 + 33
We get
= - 8 – 24 – 26 – 28 – 18 – 8 + 31 + 7 + 19 + 33
On further calculation
= - 32 – 26 – 28 – 26 + 38 + 19 + 33
It can be written as
= 38 – 32 – 26 – 28 + 33 – 26 + 19
So we get
= 6 – 26 – 28 + 7 + 19
By calculation
= 6 – 28 – 26 + 26
= 6 – 28
By subtraction
= - 22
9. Calculate
1 – 2 + 3 – 4 + 5 – 6 + ……… + 15 – 16
Solution:
It can be written as
1 – 2 + 3 – 4 + 5 – 6 + 7 – 8 + 9 – 10 + 11 – 12 + 13 – 14 + 15 – 16
We get

=-1–1–1–1–1–1–1–1
By calculation
=-8
11. Replace * by < or > in each of the following to make the statement true:
(i) (-6) + (-9) * (-6) – (-9)
(ii) (-12) – (-12) * (-12) + (-12)
(iii) (-20) – (-20) * 20 - (65)
(iv) 28 – (-10) * (-16) – (-76)
Solution:
12. If △ is an operation on integers such that a △ b = - a + b – (-2) for all integers a, b. Find the value of
(i) 4 △ 3
(ii) (-2) △ (-3)
(iii) 6 △ (-5)
(iv) (-5) △ 6
Solution:
(i) 4 △ 3
By substituting values in a △ b = - a + b – (-2)
We get
4 △ 3 = - 4 + 3 – (-2) = 1
(iii) 6 △ (-5)
By substituting values in a △ b = - a + b – (-2)
We get
6 △ (-5) = - 6 + (-5) – (-2) = - 9
(iv) (-5) △ 6
By substituting values in a △ b = - a + b – (-2)
We get
(-5) △ 6 = - (-5) + 6 – (-2) = 13
13. If a and b are two integers such that a is the predecessor of b. Find the value of a – b.
Solution:
14. If a and b are two integers such that a is the successor of b. Find the value of a – b.
Solution:
(i) False.
(ii) True.
(iii) True.
(iv) True.

(v) True.
(vi) False.
(vii) True.
(viii) True.
(i) – 7 + 7 = 0
(ii) 29 + (-29) = 0
(iv) – 14 + 36 = 22
