Adding and Subtracting Integers
When adding integers, remember the following pneumonic devices: U S B L A S S dd ign ame ubtract ike signs nlike signs igger number
Adding Like Terms (LASS) -6 + (-8) Like signs, so simply Add = 14, and then keep the same sign - Adding Unlike Terms (USB) 6 + (-8) Unlike signs, so Subtract 8 - 6 2 = 2 - Then keep the sign of the Bigger number
Let’s PracticeClick on the correct answer. 1. -5 + 3 = a. 2 b. -2 c. 8 d. -8
2. 4 + (-3) a. 1 b. -1 c. 7 d. -7
Sorry, Dude—Maybe you need new glasses! Try Again
HI—YA! Way to Go! On to the next one!
3. -8 + (-3) = a. 5 b. -5 c. 11 d. -11
You’ve unlocked the right door! Now on to subtracting integers
Subtracting Integers When you subtract integers, it’s easy to remember the following: COPY, CHANGE, CHANGE
COPY, CHANGE, CHANGE 4 – 9 Copy the first number Change the minus sign to addition Change the second number to its opposite (sign) 4 + (-9) - = 5 Now you are adding unlike signs (USB), so subtract 9- 4 And Keep the sign of the bigger number
More Practice 4. 2 – 10 = a. 8 b. -8 c. 12 d. -12
Let’s not run out of steam here! You can give it another shot!
You’re blasting off! Way to go!! Blast your way to the next one!
5. -5 - 15 a. 10 b. -10 c. 20 d. -20
It looks like you’ve got more work to do! Sorry, try again!
Way to Go!! You’re #1 Now on to #6
6. 10 – (-4) a. 6 b. -6 c. 14 d. -14
OOPS! An empty locker! Try again!
