Adding and Subtracting Integers

The video tutorial explains how to convert subtraction problems into addition problems using integer rules. It demonstrates this process with two examples: 45 minus 62 and 23 minus -72. The first example shows how to handle subtraction resulting in a negative sum, while the second example illustrates a straightforward addition resulting in a positive sum.

What is the first step in rewriting a subtraction problem as an addition problem?

• Add the numbers directly

• Change the sign of the second number

• Multiply both numbers by -1

• Ignore the signs of the numbers

In the example of 45 minus 62, what is the equivalent addition problem?

• Negative 45 plus negative 62

• Negative 45 plus 62

• 45 plus negative 62

• 45 plus 62

When adding integers with different signs, what should you do?

• Divide their absolute values

• Multiply their absolute values

• Subtract their absolute values

• Add their absolute values

What is the result of 62 minus 45 when considering absolute values?

• 107

• -17

• 17

• -107

Why is the sum of 45 and negative 62 negative?

• Because both numbers are positive

• Because both numbers are negative

• Because negative 62 has a larger absolute value

• Because 45 is larger

How do you rewrite 23 minus negative 72 as an addition problem?

• Negative 23 minus 72

• Negative 23 plus 72

• 23 plus 72

• 23 minus 72

What is the result of 23 plus 72?

• 105

• 85

• 95

• 49
