Subtracting Integers: A Mountain Adventure

The video tutorial introduces the concept of subtracting integers by adding the additive inverse. It provides practical examples, such as calculating gear weight and fishing line length, to demonstrate the application of integer subtraction. The video also covers how to calculate temperature changes using integers and concludes with a complex integer subtraction problem, offering practice problems for viewers.
