 Introduction of the Topic

Lesson 1 : Absolute Value

Absolute Value is defined as the distance of a number from zero on the number line. It
tells us how far a number is from zero.

"6" is 6 units away from zero,

and "−6" is also 6 units away from zero.
So, the absolute value of 6 is 6,
and the absolute value of −6 is also 6
Examples:
1. Use the number line to represent -5 and find its absolute value.

2. Use the number line to represent 7 and find its absolute value.

3. What is the absolute value of -25?

Answer: 25 (because -25 is 25 units away from zero.)

Absolute Value Symbol

The symbol for absolute value is denoted as | |. For example, instead of writing “the
absolute value of -8”, we can just write it as |−8|

More examples:
⮚ |-1| = 1
⮚ |1.5| =1.5
⮚ |-35| = 35
⮚ |25| = 25

Lesson 2 : Fundamental Operations on Integers

In this lesson you will learn how to perform addition, subtraction, multiplication and
division of integers.

Definition:

Integers are set of numbers consisting of whole numbers (0,1,2,3,4,5,

and so on) and their negatives.

ADDITION OF INTEGERS
Let us use the number line and the concept of motion to understand addition of integers.

Consider a point moving from one integer to another. A movement to the right means
positive and a movement to the left means negative.

MATH 7 QUARTER 1 WEEK 3 Page 3 | 8

 To add 4 + 5, the point begins at 0, moves 4 units to the right then another 5 units to
the right. The point is at 9. Therefore, 4 + 5 = 9

To add (-3) + (-7), the point starts at 0, moves 3 units to the left and another 7 units to
the left. The point reached -10. So, (-3) + (-7) = -10

How about (-10) + 8? From 0, move 10 units to the left then move 8 units to the right.
You will be at -2. So, (−10) + 8 = −2

What about 7 + (-1)? Start from 0, move 7 units to the right then move 1 unit to the left.
You reached 6. Therefore, 7 + (−1) = 6

From the examples above, can you now give the rules in addition of integers?
Addition of Integers
To add integers with like signs, add their absolute values then copy the
common sign.
To add integers with unlike signs, subtract their absolute values then copy
the sign of the integer with the greater absolute value.

Case 1: Adding Integers with Like Signs (+ , +) or (- , -)

Rule: Add the absolute values and copy the common sign.
Example 1: +4 + +6

Solution: Add their absolute values. So, 4 + 6 = 10. Copy the common sign. Therefore,
the answer is +10
Example 2: (−12) + (−5)
Solution: Add their absolute values. So, 12 + 5 = 17. Copy the common sign. Therefore,
the answer is -17
Example 3: (−16) + (−25)
Solution: Add their absolute values. So, 16 + 25 = 41. Copy the common sign. Therefore,
the answer is -41.
Example 4: +123 + +254
Solution: Add their absolute values. So, 123 + 254 = 377. Copy the common sign.
Therefore, the answer is +377

Case 2: Adding Integers with Unlike Signs (+ , -) or (- , +)

Rule: Subtract their absolute values and copy the sign of the number with greater
absolute value.
Example 1: 4 + (−6)
Solution: Subtract 6 and 4. So, 6 - 4= 2. Copy the sign of -6 since it is the number with
bigger absolute value. Therefore, the answer is −2
Example 2: (−10) + 7
Solution: Subtract 10 and 7. So, 10 - 7= 3. Copy the sign of -10 since it is the number
with greater absolute value. Therefore, the answer is −3
Example 3: (−15) + 37
Solution: Subtract 37 and 15. So, 37 – 15 = 22. Copy the sign of 37 since it is the
number with greater absolute value. Therefore, the answer is 22
Example 4: 28 + (−13)
Solution: Subtract 28 and 13. So, 28 – 13 = 15. Copy the sign of 28 since it is the
number with higher absolute value. Therefore, the answer is 15
Example 5: 59 + (−82)
Solution: Subtract 82 and 59. So, 82 – 59 = 23. Copy the sign of −82 since it is the
number with greater absolute value. Therefore, the answer is −23

SUBTRACTION OF INTEGERS

We know that 3 and -3 are opposites and so are -5 and 5. Another term for opposites is
additive inverses.

Subtraction of Integers
If a and b are both integers then,

This means that to subtract integer from another integer, add the opposite or
additive inverse of the second integer to the first integer.

MATH 7 QUARTER 1 WEEK 3 Page 4 | 8

 Example 1: 8 − (−6)
= 8 + (+6) Change the operation (-) to (+), then write the additive
inverse of the subtrahend (change -6 to +6)
= 14 Apply the rule in adding integers
Therefore, 8 − (−6) = 14
Example 2: 5 − 8
= 5 + (−8) Change the operation (-) to (+), then write the additive
inverse of the subtrahend (change 8 to -8)
= -3 Apply the rule in adding integers
Therefore, 5 − 8 = −3

Example 3: −10 − (−4)

= −10 + (+4) Change the operation (-) to (+), then write the additive
inverse of the subtrahend (change -4 to +4)
= -6 Apply the rule in adding integers
Therefore, −10 − (−4) = −6

Example 4: −15 − (−25)

= −15 + (+25) Change the operation (-) to (+), then write the additive
inverse of the subtrahend (change -25 to +25)
= +10 Apply the rule in adding integers
Therefore, −15 − (−25) = 10

Example 5: −12 − 24
= −12 + (−24) Change the operation (-) to (+), then write the additive
inverse of the subtrahend (change 24 to -24)
= −36 Apply the rule in adding integers
Therefore, −12 − 24 = −36

MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION OF INTEGERS

Multiplication and Division of Integers follow the same rule.
Rule:
In multiplying or dividing two integers having the same signs, the product or quotient is
ALWAYS POSITIVE.
In multiplying or dividing two integers having different signs, the product or quotient is
ALWAYS NEGATIVE.

MULTIPLICATION OF INTEGERS
Examples:

Same Signs Different Signs

1. 3 × 2 = 6 1. (-5)(7) = -35
2. (-5)(-4) = 20 2. (15)(-3) = -45
3. (-10)(-3) = 30 3. (8)(-5) = -40
4. 8 ∙ 7 = 56 4. (-11)(10) = -110

Note: The symbol (⋅), (×), or (∗) between two mathematical expressions denotes the multiplication.
Sometimes we also use parentheses rather than the other mentioned symbols. An example for that would
be -2(-4) or (-2)(-4).

DIVISION OF INTEGERS
Examples:

Same Signs Different Signs

1. 12÷3 = 4 1. (-15)÷3 = -5
2. (-35)÷(-7) = 5 2. (35)÷(-5) = -7
3. (-120)÷(-5) = 24 3. (-120)÷10 = -12
4. 64÷4 =16 4. 64÷(-8) = -8

Remember

The following are the concepts of absolute value and the rules in fundamental operations of integers.
Absolute value describes the distance of a number from 0 on the number line.
The absolute value of a number is never negative.
Opposite numbers have the same distance from zero. They have the same absolute values.
Opposite numbers are called additive inverses.
