NEGATIVE
NUMBERS
Introduction:
When you first learned your numbers,way
back in elementary school,you learned the
counting number:1,2,3,4,5,6,and so on.Your
number line looked like this:

1 2 3 4 5 6
Addition,multiplication,and division always
made sense-as long as you didn’t try to
devide by zero,but sometimes subtraction
didn’t work.If you had “9-5”,you got 4

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

9-5=4
How about 5-9?Because you now have
negatives off to the left of zero,you have
the “space”to complete this subtraction.View
the subtraction as adding a negative 9;that
is,draw an arrow from zero to five, and then
a “negative” arrow nine units long:

-6 -5 -4-3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6

substract 9
“5-9=-4”
★Think about doing “465-739”.You certainly don’t want
to use a number line for this.You know that the answer
to this has to be negative,(because “minus 739”will take
you somewhere to the left of zero),but how do you
figure out which negative number is the answer

SOLUTION:
The easiest way of dealing with this is to do subtraction
“normally”(with the smaller number subtracted from the
larger number),and then put a “minus”sign on the
answer:9-5=4, so 5-9=-4.This works the same way (and
is simpler)for bigger numbers :739-465=274,so 465-
739=-274
The rules:”minus of a minus is a plus”and “minus times minus is a
plus”

Examples:
Simplify -43-(-19)-21+25

-43-(-19)-21+25
=-43+19-21+25
=(-43)+19+(-21)+25
=(-43)+(-21)+19+25
=(-64)+44
=44+(-64)

You can only move stuff around like this after you have converted
everything to addition.You cannot reverse a subtraction,only an
addition.In shorthand,you can only move the numbers around if you
move their signs with them.If you move only the numbers and not
their signs,you will have changed the problem.Continuing..

44+(-64)=44-64
Since 64-44=20,then 44-64=-20
 THE END
THANK YOU!
