 PROBLEM OPENER
Mrs. Reyes bought fruits that cost P 700.00
from a wholesaler and sold them in her fruits
stand. On Monday, her sales are P800.00
and on Tuesday, P500.00. But on
Wednesday, she loses P400.00 because
some of the fruits are already rotten.
Considering the sales of fruits for the three
days, did Mrs. Reyes gain or lose profit?
 RULES IN ADDING INTEGERS

To add integers having the same signs, add

the integers then affix the common sign.

To add integers having different signs,

subtract then affix the sign of the bigger
number.
 EXAMPLES

1. 5 + 8 = 13
2. (-12) + (-15) = -27
3. 56 + (-12) = 44
4. (-63) + 49 = -14
5. (-47) + (-35) = -82
 BOARD WORK
Add the following integers.
1. (-21) + (5) =
2. 47 + (16) =
3. (-72) + (-38) =
4. (-10) + (87) =
5. 15 + (-56) + (-9) =

Solve the problem.

Mt. Everest, the highest elevation in Asia, is

29 029 feet above sea level. The dead sea,
the lowest elevation, is 1 412 feet below sea
level. What is the sum of these two
elevations?

Add the following integers.

1. 56 + (-12) = 44
2. (-63) +49 = -14
3. 42 + (-24) = 18
4. (-91) + 77 = -14
5. 12 + (-26) = -14
 PROBLEM OPENER

The temperature in Baguio City

was 12⁰ Celsius in the morning.
It dropped to 8⁰ Celsius in the
evening. What is the difference
between these temperatures?
Subtracting Integers is adding the
opposite of the subtrahend to the
minuend.

12⁰ - 8⁰ = N
minuend subtrahend
When subtracting integers, change the
subtraction sign to addition sign. Simply
change the sign of the subtrahend and
proceed to addition of integers.
12⁰ - 8⁰ = N

12⁰ + (-8⁰) = 4⁰
Examples:
1. 5 – 3 = 5 + (-3) = 2
2. (-6) – (5) = (-6) + (-5) = -11
3. 2- (-7) = 2 + 7 = 9
4. (-12) – (-8) = (-12) + 8= -4
5. (-2) – (-6) = (-2) + 6 = 4

Subtract the integers.
1) 8 – (-5) = 13
2) 52,129 - 76 134 = -24,005
3) (-9) – 13 = -22
4) 93 – 101 = -8
5) 710 – (-217) = 927
