Subtracting Integers

• Change to Addition to solve.

"Add the Opposite"

To rewrite using the additive inverse.

"Leave-Change-Opposite"

To rewrite subtraction as addition.

Additive Inverse

•  $-3-4=$  

• Leave the "-3" - Change subtraction to addition - Opposite of 4

•  $-3+\left(-4\right)=$  

Additive Inverse

•  $-5-\left(-9\right)=$  

• Leave the "-5" - Change subtraction to addition - Opposite of "-9"

•  $-5+9=$
