You never subtract integers... But you just "add the opposite!" 7 − ( − 2 ) = ? 7\ -\ \left(-2\right)\ =\ ? 7 − ( − 2 ) = ?

7 − ( − 2 ) = 9 7\ -\ \left(-2\right)\ =\ 9 7 − ( − 2 ) = 9

7 − ( − 2 ) = 5 7\ -\ \left(-2\right)\ =\ 5 7 − ( − 2 ) = 5

7 − ( − 2 ) = − 5 7\ -\ \left(-2\right)\ =\ -5 7 − ( − 2 ) = − 5

You never subtract integers... But you just "add the opposite!" 8 − ( − 1 ) = ? 8\ -\ \left(-1\right)\ =\ ? 8 − ( − 1 ) = ?

8 − ( − 1 ) = 9 8\ -\ \left(-1\right)\ =\ 9 8 − ( − 1 ) = 9

8 − ( − 1 ) = 7 8\ -\ \left(-1\right)\ =\ 7 8 − ( − 1 ) = 7

8 − ( − 1 ) = − 7 8\ -\ \left(-1\right)\ =\ -7 8 − ( − 1 ) = − 7

You never subtract integers... But you just "add the opposite!" Like this... 4 − ( − 3 ) = ? \ 4\ -\ \left(-3\right)\ =\ ? 4 − ( − 3 ) = ?

4 − ( − 3 ) = 7 4\ -\ \left(-3\right)\ =\ 7 4 − ( − 3 ) = 7

4 − ( − 3 ) = − 1 4\ -\ \left(-3\right)\ =\ -1 4 − ( − 3 ) = − 1

4 − ( − 3 ) = − 7 4\ -\ \left(-3\right)\ =\ -7 4 − ( − 3 ) = − 7

You never subtract integers... But you just "add the opposite!" − 4 − ( − 3 ) -4-\ \left(-3\right)\ − 4 − ( − 3 ) = ?

− 4 − ( − 3 ) = − 1 -4\ -\ \left(-3\right)\ =\ -1 − 4 − ( − 3 ) = − 1

− 4 − ( − 3 ) = − 7 -4\ -\ \left(-3\right)\ =\ -7 − 4 − ( − 3 ) = − 7

4 − ( − 3 ) = 1 4\ -\ \left(-3\right)\ =\ 1 4 − ( − 3 ) = 1

You never subtract integers... But you just "add the opposite!" Like this... T o s o l v e − 5 − 3 w e a d d − 5 + ( − 3 ) a n d g e t − 8 ( S a m e S i g n s ) To\ solve\ -5-\ 3\ we\ add\ -5\ +\left(-3\right)\ and\ \ get-8\ \left(Same\ Signs\right) T o s o l v e − 5 − 3 w e a d d − 5 + ( − 3 ) a n d g e t − 8 ( S a m e S i g n s )

− 5 − 3 = − 8 -5\ -3\ =\ -8 − 5 − 3 = − 8

− 5 − 3 = 8 -5\ -\ 3\ =\ 8 − 5 − 3 = 8

− 5 − 3 = − 2 -5\ -3\ =\ -2 − 5 − 3 = − 2

Rewrite: 7 − ( − 2 ) 7\ -\ \left(-2\right) 7 − ( − 2 )

7 + ( + 2 ) 7+\left(+2\right) 7 + ( + 2 )

7 − ( + 2 ) 7-\ \left(+2\right) 7 − ( + 2 )

Rewrite: 8 − 10 8\ -\ 10 8 − 1 0

8 + ( − 10 ) 8\ +\ \left(-10\right) 8 + ( − 1 0 )

Rewrite: − 8 − 2 -8\ -\ 2 − 8 − 2

− 8 + ( − 2 ) -8\ +\ \left(-\ 2\right) − 8 + ( − 2 )

Rewrite: 5 − 4 5\ -\ 4 5 − 4

5 + ( − 4 ) 5\ +\ \left(-4\right) 5 + ( − 4 )

− 5 + − 4 -5\ +\ -\ 4 − 5 + − 4

Adding a Negative is the same thing __________ a Positive.

"subtracting" which means (5 + -3) is the same as (5 - 3)

"adding" which means (5 + -3) is the same as (5 + 3)

"Multiplying by" which means (5 + -3) is the same as ( 5 x 3)

"Dividing by" which means (5 + -3) is the same as (5/3)
