Integers – is a set of whole numbers including zero and their opposites. (… -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3…)

This includes:
 Negative whole numbers
 Positive whole numbers
 Zero

Integer Rules

Adding and Subtracting Integers

Adding or subtracting integers with like signs, add and keep the sign.

4+2= (−6 ¿+(−8) = −9−4=¿

Adding or subtracting integers with unlike signs, subtract and keep the sign of the higher integer.

−6+3 = 8+(−4 ) =

** When subtracting a negative, it turns into a positive and then follows one of the two rules above.
8−(−4) =

−8−(−4)=¿

i) −3+10 = j) 14 + (−¿ 5) −¿ 2) = k) −¿3 −(−6) = l) 9 + 6 −(−3 ) −( +2 )=¿

Multiplying and Dividing Integers

If the signs of the integers are the same, the product/quotient is positive.

4 ×3 = −8 ÷(−4) =

If the signs of the integers are the different, the product/quotient is negative.

7 ×(−6) = 6 ÷(−3) =

Practice 2: Solve

a) (2)(−6) = b) (−4)(−7) =
c) ( −205 ) = d) ( −40
