11.Write the integer that is: using the number line.

(a) 3 More than (5)

(b) Five more than five.

Explanation:

 (a) 



From 5, we take 3 steps to the right to get to 8. As a result, 3 plus 5 equals 8.


(b) 



At -5, turning right five steps brings us to 0. In light of this, 5 + -5 Equals 0.


12.Write the integer that is: using the number line.

Less than six, two, and three

Explanation:

  6 less than 2.




Six steps to the left from 2, we arrive at -4. So, 6 less than 2 equals -4.

Explanation:

(a) 9 + (-6)

(b) 5 + (-11)

(c) (-1) + (-7)

(d) (- 5) + 10

(e) (-1) + (-2) + (-3)


14.Without using a number line, add the following: 

(a) 11 + (-7)

 (b) (-13) + (+18) 

(c) (-10) + (+19).

Explanation:

(a) (+7) + (-7) = 0 (11 + (-7) = 4 + (+7) + (-7)

= 4 + 0 = 4 Thus, 11 + (-7) = 4.


(b) (-13) + (+18) = (-13) + (+13) + (+5)

[ (-13) + (+13) = 0]

= 0 + (+ 5) = 5 Thus, (- 13) + (+ 18) = 5.


(c) (-10) + (+19) = (-10) + (+10) + (+9)

[ (-10) + (10) = 0] = 0 + (+9) = 9 Thus, (-10) + (19) = 9.


15Find:

 (a) (-7) - 8 - (-25)

(b) (-13) + 32 – 8 – 1

Explanation:

(a) (-7) – 8 – (-25)

= (-7) – 8 + 25

Inverse additive of - 25 is 25

= -7 + 17

 = -7 + 7 +10  [ (-a) + (+a) = 0]

= 0 + 10

 = 10.


(b) (-13) + 32 – 8 – 1

= (-13) + (13) + 19 – (8 + 1)

= 0 + 19 – 9

= 19 – 9 [ (-13) + (13) = 0]

= 10 + 9 – 9 = 10 + 0 = 10.

[(+9) – (+9) = 0]


16Find:

 (a) (-7) + (-8) + (-90)

 (b)  50 – (-40) – (-2) (-2)

Explanation:

(-7) + (-8) + (-90)

 = – (7 + 8) + (-90)

= -15 + (-90)

= -(15 + 90)

= -105.


(d) 50 – (-40) – (-2)

= 50 – [- 40 – 2]

= 50 – (-42)

= 50 + 42

= 92.


17.Put the following on a number line to represent:

(a) -5

(b) 4

Explanation:

  1. – 5




  1. 4



18.Find (a) 6 * 2 (b) (- 2) * (- 3) (c) (- 2) * (4) (d) (+ 3) * if * is an operation such that for two integers p and q, p * q = p + q - 2 (- 1)

Explanation:

(a) In light of the fact that: p * q = p + q - 2 6 * 2 = 6 + 2 - 2 = 6 + 0 = 6

Thus, 6 * 2 = 6.


(b) Taking into account the fact that: p * q = p + q - 2 (- 2) * (- 3) = (- 2) + (- 3) - 2 = -5 - 2 = -7.

Thus, (- 2) * (- 3) = – 7.


(c) A consequence of this is that: p * q = p + q - 2 (- 2) * (4) = (- 2) + (4) - 2 = 2 - 2 = 0.

Thus, (- 2) * (4) = 0.


(d) Taking into account the fact that p*q - p + q - 2 (+ 3) * (- 1) = (+ 3) + (- 1) - 2 = 2 - 2 = 0,

Thus, (+ 3) * (- 1) = 0.

22.At five in the morning on a specific day, the temperature is -11°C. Suppose the temperature falls by 3 degrees at 6 a.m., rises by 5 degrees at 8 a.m., and then falls by 3 degrees once more at 9 a.m. How hot is it at nine in the morning?

Explanation:

5 a.m. temperature is -11 °C.

The temperature was 3°C (or -3°F) lower at 6 a.m.

Temperature increased by 5°C at 8 a.m.

Temperature dropped by 3°C (or -3°F) around 9 a.m.

At nine in the morning, the temperature was (-11) + (-3) + (+5) + (-3) = -11 - 3 + 5 - 3 = -17 + 5 = -12°C.

(-5) + (-2) = (-7)


24.Add the following numbers using the number line: 9 + (-6).

Explanation:

On the number line, we first go 9 steps from 0 to 9 to the right, and then 6 steps from 9 to 3 to the left.

32Each of the following should be represented on a number line that you draw:

I 5 + (-2) (-2)

(ii) (-9) + 4

(iii) (-3) + (-5) (-5)

Explanation:

(i) 5 + (-2) (-2)

Move from 0 to the right of the first five units to get +5.

The second number is therefore -2, and by moving 2 units to the left of +5 we obtain +3.



Hence, 5 + (-2) = 3.


(ii) (-9) + 4

Go from 0 to the left of nine units to get - 9.

The second number is therefore 4, and by moving 4 units to the right of -9, we obtain -5.




So, (-9) plus 4 is (-) 5.



(iii) (-3) + (-5) (-5)


Go from 0 to the left of three units to get - 3.


The second number is therefore - 5, and by moving 5 units to the left of - 3, we obtain - 8.





Therefore, (-3) + (-5) = (-8).


33.(i) 6 + (-6) (-6)


(ii) (-1) + (-2) + 2


(iii) (-2) + 7 + (-9) (-9)

Explanation:



(i) 6 + (-6) (-6)


Move from zero to the right of six units to get six


Therefore the second number is - 6 so move 6 units farther left of 6 we obtain 0





Hence, 6 + (-6) = 0.


(ii) (-1) + (-2) + 2


From zero, travel one unit to the left to obtain -1.


The second number is therefore -2, and if we move 2 units to the left of -1, we get -3.


The third number is 2, thus if we shift 2 spaces to the right of 3, we get the number 1.





Because of this, (-1) + (-2) + 2 = - 1.


(iii) (-2) + 7 + (-9) (-9)


Move from 0 to the left of two units to get -2


The second number is therefore 7, so by moving 7 units to the right of -2, we obtain 5.


Go 9 units to the left of 5 to get the third number, which is - 9, which is - 4.




34.From 709, deduct the total of - 5020 and -2320.

Explanation:

We are aware that -5020 plus 2320 equals


-5020 + 2320


One way to spell it is as


= 2320 – 5020


hence, we do


= – 2700


By deducting from -709, we obtain


= – 709 – (-2700) (-2700)


We get


= – 709 + 2700


By removing


= 1991


35.Add the sums of 1250 and 1138 and subtract them from 1136 and 1272.

Explanation:

We are aware of what 1250 minus 1138 is.


-1250 + 1138


One way to spell it is as


= 1138 – 1250


hence, we do


= – 112


We are aware that 1136 minus 1272 equals


1136 – 1272 = – 136


hence, we do


-136 – (-112) = – 136 + 112 = -24

(i) 4 3


(ii) (-2) (-3) (-3)


(iii) 6 (-5) (-5)


(iv) (-5) 6

Explanation:

(i) 4 3


By changing the numbers in the formula a b = - a + b - (-2)


We get


4 3 = – 4 + 3 – (-2) = 1


(ii) (-2) (-3) (-3)


By changing the numbers in the formula a b = - a + b - (-2)


We get


(-2) (-3) = – (-2) + (-3) – (-2) = 1


(iii) 6 (-5) (-5)


By changing the numbers in the formula a b = - a + b - (-2)


We get


6 (-5) = – 6 + (-5) – (-2) = – 9


(iv) (-5) 6


By changing the numbers in the formula a b = - a + b - (-2)


We get


(-5) 6 = – (-5) + 6 – (-2) = 13
