Exploring Adding and Subtracting Rational Numbers

This video tutorial covers the addition and subtraction of rational numbers, using a number line as a visual aid. It explains how to handle numbers with the same and different signs, introduces the concept of opposites and additive inverses, and demonstrates subtraction as adding the inverse. A real-world example involving stock prices is used to illustrate these concepts.
