Applied Algebra B Lesson: 2 – 3 Adding Integers Objective: Learn to add integers.
Adding Integers Like Signs Add numbers and keep the sign = 7 -6 – 8 = -14 Unlike Signs Subtract numbers, take the sign of the bigger number = 7 5 – 13 = -8
Find each Sum = (-2) = = (-8) = = = 3
Find each Sum 5 + (-3) = (-6) = = = (-10) = =17
Opposites Also called Additive Inverses or Zero Pair Examples 3 & = 0 or 3 – 3 = & = 0 or 10 – 10 = 0
Property Additive Inverse Property The sum of any number and its additive inverse is 0.
Simplify each expression 5x + (-3x) = 2x -8y + 3y = -5y 6m + 4m + (-2m) = 8m -5x + 4x = -x (or -1x)
