Subtraction of Integers Rules for Adding & Subtracting Integers 1 + - becomes - (2+(-3)=2-3@& -4-(+8)=-4-8) 2 + + becomes + (5+(+1)=5+1-7+(+3)=-7+3) 3 - & - becomes + (4-(-6)=4+6-9-(-2)=-9+2) Let’s look at some examples (1) 2 – (−3) = 2 = 5 (2) −4 − (+8) = −4 Taking − common = −(4 + 8) = −12 Rough + & − becomes − + & + becomes + − & − becomes + (3) 5 – (+1) = 5 = 4 (4) −7 – (+3) = −7 Taking − common = −(7 + 3) = − 10 (5) 4 − (−6) = 4 = 10 Rough + & − becomes − + & + becomes + − & − becomes + (6) −9 − (−2) = −9 Taking − common = −(9 − 2) = −7 Rough + & − becomes − + & + becomes + − & − becomes +
