SUBTRACTION OF INTEGERS

Name: __________________________________ Score: ____________

Subtracting of Integers is the process of finding the difference of two or more integers.

Rule in Subtraction of Integers

When Subtracting integers, change the sign of the subtrahend then proceed to addition.
Examples.
1. 5 – 3 = 5 + (-3) = 2 5. -10 – 10 = -10 + (-10) = -20

2. 6 – 9 = 6 + (-9) = -3 6. -10 – (-9) = -10 + 9 = -1

3. 7 – (-8) = 7 + 8 = 15 7. 0 – (-20) = 0 + 20 = 20

4. -2 – (-4) = -2 + 4 = 2 8. -20 – 0 = -20 + 0 = -20
