+1So

+1 - - 2 = +3

Try these

0 1 2 4 5 63-6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1

a) +3 - -2b) +1 - -3c) -2 - +4

+5+4-6

Think of 1st number as a starting point

Think of 2nd number as a move left or right

Think of SUBTRACT as a REVERSE of DIRECTION

Basic Rules

ADD a POSITIVE means ADD

ADD a NEGATIVE means SUBTRACT

SUBTRACT a POSITIVE means SUBTRACT

SUBTRACT a NEGATIVE means ADD

+ +3 = + 3

+ -3 = - 3

- +3 = - 3

- -3 = + 3

Sometimes Textbooks give a number in a bracket

5 - (+2) = 5 - +2

5 - (+2)

Sometimes Textbooks give the sign NOT raised

= 5 - (+2) = 5 - +2

Multiply & Divide with Negative numbers

Multiplication

+3 x + 2

+2 +2

= + 6

-2

Multiplication

0 1 2 4 5 63-6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1

+3 x - 2 = - 6

-2 -2

-2

Multiplication

0 1 2 4 5 63-6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1

-3 x - 2 = + 6

-2 -2

+2+2+2

Rule for Multiplication

POSITIVE x POSITIVE = POSITIVE +2 x +3 = +6

+2 x -3 = -6POSITIVE x NEGATIVE = NEGATIVE

-2 x -3 = +6NEGATIVE x NEGATIVE = POSITIVE

NEGATIVE x POSITIVE = NEGATIVE -2 x +3 = -6

If SAME SIGN, answer is POSITIVE

Rule for Division

POSITIVE ÷ POSITIVE = POSITIVE +18 ÷ +3 = +6

+18 ÷ -3 = -6POSITIVE ÷ NEGATIVE = NEGATIVE

-18 ÷ -3 = +6NEGATIVE ÷ NEGATIVE = POSITIVE

NEGATIVE ÷ POSITIVE = NEGATIVE -18 ÷ +3 = -6

If SAME SIGN, answer is POSITIVE

Using negative numbers in formulae

• We call putting a number into an expression Substitution

Examples

If t = f + 7

If f = 5

If f = -5

t = 5 + 7

t = f + 7

t = 12

t = -5 + 7 t = 2

Examples

If t = 3q + 4

If q = 5

If q = -5

t = 3x5 + 4

t = 3q + 4

3q = 3 x q

t = 15 + 4 t = 19

t = 3x-5 + 4 t = -15 + 4 t = -11

NOT t = 35 + 4 = 39

Examples

If t = 5

If t = -5

S = 5x5

S = t2

t2 = t x t

S = 25

S = -5x-5 S = 25
