10. Signed Numbers Add using the Addition Rules
11. Addition Rules 1 of 2 Addition Rule 1 - When adding two or more numbers with the same sign, ignore the signs, add the numbers, and give the answer the sign of the original numbers.
13. Addition Rules 1 of 3 Addition Rule 2 - When adding two numbers which have different signs, ignore the signs, subtract the smaller number from the larger number, and give the answer the sign of the larger number.
16. Signed Numbers Subtraction
17. Reading the notation The symbol takes on different meanings depending upon how it is used:
9 negative nine
7 2 seven minus two
4 2 negative four minus two
10 ( 4) negative ten minus negative four
18. We already know how to add 3 + 5 =
-4 + (-8) =
7 + (-13) =
19. Subtract Subtract.
15 8 =
5 11 =
-6 (-3) =

22. Subtracting Signed Numbers It is possible to turn the subtraction problem into an addition problem by:
Adding the opposite
Use the addition rules you already know.
5 (-3) =
5 + (+3) =
-12 (-5) =
-12 + (+5) =
24. Signed Numbers Multiplication
25. Multiplication Multiplication Rules
Both numbers being multiplied have the same sign:
Answer is Positive
6 x 9 =
-7 x (-2) =
26. Multiplication Multiplication Rules
Each of the numbers being multiplied have different signs:
Answer is Negative
5 x (-3) =
-2 x (8) =
27. Multiplication Strings Multiplication strings
(-4)(3)(5)(-2) =
(-7)(-1)(5)(-4) =
28. Division Division Rules
Both numbers being divided have the same sign:
Answer is Positive
45 ? 5 =
-15 ? (-3) =
29. Division Division Rules
Both numbers being divided have the different signs:
Answer is Negative
