2.2-2.3 Adding and Subtracting Integers Activator: In football, forward progress is represented by a positive integer. Being pushed back is represented by a negative integer. Suppose on the first play a team loses 5 yards and on the second play they lose 2 yards. Use this number line to help you answer the questions.

a. What integer represents the total yardage on the two plays?

b. Write an addition sentence that describes this situation. The addition sentence we wrote above is an example of adding two integers with the same sign. Notice that the sign of the sum is the same as the sign of the addends. Rule for Adding integers with the same sign: Examples:

1. Find -4 + (-5) 2. Find -2 + (-3) 3. Find 7 + 5 4. Find 8 + 2

You Try:

5. Find 4+5 6. Find 7+7 7. Find -5 + (-4) 8. Find (-3) + (-6)

We can use a number line to help us add integers with different signs. **Remember on a number line, positive numbers move to the right and negative numbers move to the left. 7 + (-4)

Step 1: Start at Zero Step 2: Move 7 units to the right Step 3: From there, move 4 units to the left 2 + (-3)

Step 1: Start at Zero Step 2: Move 2 units to the right Step 3: From there, move 3 units to the left Let’s look at these two sums and compare them. 7 + (-4)= 2 + (-3)= What do you notice about the signs of the sums? Rule for adding integers with different signs: Examples: First, state whether the sum will be positive or negative, then find each sum.

1. -8 + 3 2. 10 + (-4)

3. 7 + (-11) 4. -3 + 9

Subtracting Integers Recall: What is an additive inverse? (Hint: think back to opposites) Subtracting integers is very similar to adding integers. To subtract an integer, you add its additive inverse. Keep-Change-Change Example: 6 – 8 Using the additive inverse, 6 – 8 is the same as ____________ Let’s use the number line to help us.

Step 1: Start at zero Step 2: Move 6 units to the right (positive) Step 3: Move 8 units to the left (negative) You Try: -3 – 5 Using the additive inverse, -3 – 5 is the same as _____________

Step 1: Start at zero Step 2: Move ___ units to the __________ ( __________________ ) Step 3: Move ___ units to the __________ ( __________________ ) Find each difference:

1. 8 – 13

2. -4 – 10

3. 9 – 14

Page 10: Intro to Algebra Unit 1 - Central Dauphin School District · Intro to Algebra ‐ Unit 1 10 Now, let’s try subtracting a negative number… 7 – (-3) Using the additive inverse,

IntrotoAlgebra‐Unit1

10

Now, let’s try subtracting a negative number… 7 – (-3) Using the additive inverse, this is the same as 7 + (+3) Keep-Change-Change Therefore we can conclude that subtracting a negative number is the same thing as ______________________________________________________________ Use the number line to verify this rule with -2 – (-4)

Examples: Find each difference.

1. 15 – (-4)

2. -10 – (-7)

3. -13 – (-9)

You Try: Find each difference.

4. 20 – (-15)

5. -1 – (-10)

6. -16 – (-3)

Evaluate algebraic expressions using subtraction You can use the same rule for subtracting using algebraic expressions. Examples:

1. Evaluate x – (-6) if x = 12

2. Evaluate s – t if s = -9 and t = -3

3. Evaluate p + q – r if p = -11, q = 6, and r = -12

You Try: 4. Evaluate m – (-2) if m = 4

5. Evaluate x – y if x = -14 and y = -2

6. Evaluate a – b + c if a = 15, b = 5, and c = -8

2.4-2.5 Multiplying and Dividing Integers RECALL: Multiplication is the same thing as repeated addition. So… 3(-5) is the same thing as (-5) + (-5) + (-5) RECALL: The commutative property of multiplication tells us that 3(-5) is the same thing as -5(3) Rule: The product of two integers with different signs is NEGATIVE.

You Try: Find each product.

3. 8(-12)

4. -9(11)

We know that the product of two positive integers is positive (Ex. 2 x 4 = 8). What is the sign of the product of two negative numbers? Let’s use the pattern below to find out…

(-4)(2) = -8 (-4)(1) = -4 (-4)(0) = 0 (-4)(-1) = 4 (-4)(-2) = 8

8) While returning to the gliderport, Lucy descended for three minutes at a rate of 400 feet per minute. How much altitude did she lose? If her starting altitude was 2800 feet, what was her final altitude? 9) Carla’s credit card statement showed that she owed $350. She made a payment of $200, and then she charged $23 for gasoline. She returned a sweater she had charged earlier for a refund of $35. Then she charged $15 at the bookstore. What is her new balance? 10) In 2000, Bob’s 401(k) fund lost $9000. In 2001, it lost another $10,000, and in 2002, it lost $17,000. In 2003, it gained $16,000, and in 2004 it gained $12,000. How much more does it have to gain to be worth what it was at the start of 2000? 11) Katherine is very interested in cryogenics (the science of very low temperatures). With the help of her science teacher she is doing an experiment on the effect of low temperatures on bacteria. She cools one sample of bacteria to a temperature of -51°C and another to -76°C. What was the temperature difference in the two experiments? 12. On Tuesday the mailman delivers 3 checks for $5 each and 2 bills for $2 each. If you had a starting balance of $25, what is the ending balance?

13. You owe $225. on your credit card. You make a $55. payment and then purchase $87 worth of clothes at Dillards. What is the integer that represents the balance owed on the credit card?

15. During the football game, Justin caught three passes. One was for a touchdown and went 52 yards. The other was for a first down and was for 17 yards. The other was on a screen pass that did not work so well and ended up a gain of -10 yards. What was the total yardage gained by Justin on the pass plays?

16. James plays in the backfield of the Big Town football team. Last week he ran four plays from the halfback position. He made "gains" measured in yards of 3, 4, 1, and 5. What were his average yards per gain? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a yard.

17. In golf, the average score a good player should be able to achieve is called "par." Par for a whole course is calculated by adding up the par scores for each hole. Scores in golf are often expressed at some number either greater than or less than par. Ms. Floop is having a pretty good day at the Megalopolis City Golf Club. Her score so far after 15 holes is -3. If par for 15 holes is 63, what is her score?

18. It was a very freaky weather day. The temperature started out at 9°C in the morning and went to -13°C at noon. It stayed at that temperature for six hours and then rose 7°C. How far below the freezing point (0°C) was the temperature at 6 p.m.?

19. The mailman delivered a $22 check and 3 - $14 bills today. He also took back 1- $5 bill. What is the total in the mailbox?

20. A monkey sits on a limb that is 25 ft above the ground. He swings up 10 ft, climbs up 6 ft more then jumps down 13 ft. How far off the ground is the monkey now?

21. Mary has $267 in her checking account. She writes checks for $33, $65, and $112. What is the balance in her account now?

22. A submarine dove 836 ft. It rose at a rate of 22 ft per minute. What was the depth of the submarine after 12 minutes?

Finding the Mean (Average) for a Set of Data

Mean

The mean (or average) of a set of data values is the sum of all of the data values divided by the number of data values. That is:

Example 1:

The scores of seven students on a mathematics test with a maximum possible score of 20 are shown below:

15 13 18 16 14 17 12

Find the mean of this set of data values.

Solution:

15 7

105

7

12171416181315

valuesdata ofNumber

valuesdata all of SumMean

So, the mean is 15.

You Try:

The scores of nine students on a french test that had a maximum possible score of 50 are shown below:

47 35 37 32 38 39 36 34 35

Find the mean of this set of data values.

When there’s a line use nine! This trick for repeating decimals works each time.

1. Put the repeating pattern on top 2. If it repeats 1 digit use 9, repeats 2

digits use 99; repeat 3 digits use 999, etc.

So 72. =
