Integers
The integer that represents the following statement: "15 yard loss"
-15
Compare -8 and 6
-8 < 6
12 + (-12)
0
5 - 10
-5
Whole numbers and their opposites.
integers
Why is this incorrect? (-2) - (2) = 0
The numbers were subtracted without taking the negative into account. The answer is (-4)
The opposite of 5
-5
Compare -1 and -4.
-1 > -4
-3 + (-5)
-8
-5 - 10
-15
Numbers greater than zero
positive integers
Why is this incorrect? 63 - 13 = -50
Answer should be 50
|-42|
42
l-6l and -l7l
l-6l > -l7l
-14 + (-70)
-84
-29 - 14
-43
Numbers that are less than zero
negative numbers
-280 - 100 = -180 because you do 280 minus 100 and keep the negative sign.
When you already start negative, subtraction of a positive means going even lower. So you actually add up 280 and 100 to get 380 and then remember you are still negative, so -380.
The integers that come just before and just after -7.
-6 and -8
Order from least to greatest: 0, -2, 4
-2, 0, 4
38 + (-45)
-7
-26 - 52
-78
Two numbers whose sum is zero
additive inverse
On a number line, do do -18 - 5, you start at -18 and then move right 5 to get -13.
Subtracting a positive means to move left. So from -18, you should move left 5 to get to -23.
The name of numbers less than zero (using the correct term for the TYPE of numbers they are).
Negative integers
l-1l, 4, -l-2l, 0, 3, -5 from greatest to least
4, 3, 1, 0, -2, -5
-35 + 88
53
110 - 370
-480
A number's distance from 0 on the number line
absolute value
Why is this incorrect? The absolute value of 4 is (-4)
Absolute value of 4 is 4 since the 4 is 4 units away from zero. Absolute value is ALWAYS positive.
