Lesson 2: Subtracting integers

Warm Up:​ Find each sum using either strategy you learned from Lessons #1.
SET A SET B

1) – 5 + (– 5) = _____ 4) (– 18) + 8 = _____

2) – 10 + (– 5) = _____ 5) 8 + (– 4) = _____

3) 15 + 35 = ______ 6) 2 + (– 12) = _____

7) Evaluate each:

a) = ______________ b) = ______________ c) = ______________

8) Identify the additive inverse of each integer:

a) 6: ______________ b) ​30: ______________ c) ​13: ______________

Key Concept:
Subtracting integers is the opposite of adding integers. Instead of subtracting, we are going to add
the opposite.
To subtract integers on a number line:
✓ To subtract two integers, we can ​rewrite ​the subtraction equation as an
equivalent_____________________________________ equation.

✓ Subtraction is the same as adding the ___________________________________________ .

✓ Just think...​SAME CHANGE CHANGE.

Examples​: ​Re-write each subtraction equation as an equivalent addition equation. Then solve.
1) 10 – 4 = 2) 2 – 8 =

3) – 3 – 6 = 4) – 5 – (– 5) =

Practice:​ R
​ e-write each subtraction equation as an equivalent addition equation. Then solve.
5) – 9 – 16 =_________ 6) – 11 – 8 =_________

Lesson #3: Adding & subtracting integers

Warm Up:​ Answer each question below.
1) 2 + (-14) = 2) –5 + (– 15) = 3) –18 + 24 = 4) –20 – 15 =

5) –20 – (–16) = 6) 18 – (–12) = 7) –17 – 11 = 8) 21 – (–11) =

9) = 10) = 11) – = 12) =

13) = 14) – = 15) – = 16) 30 + (–30)=

Key Concept:​ Here is a review of adding and subtracting integers.

ADDING integers with the ADDING integers with
SUBTRACTING integers
SAME signs DIFFERENT signs
✓ Rewrite the subtraction
✓ SUBTRACT their
equation as ADDING the

inverse (opposite)
✓ ADD their absolute values
✓ Keep the sign of the
✓ KEEP CHANGE
✓ KEEP the sign integer with the

✓ Use ADDITION rules

Today we will apply these rules to solve word problems involving adding and subtracting integers.
Examples:​ Write and solve a number sentence to represent each situation.
