    Integers: Minuend Subtrahend Difference

    Uploaded by

    Charlene Baruel
    Integers are numbers without fractions or decimals, including positive and negative whole numbers and zero. The set of integers is represented by Z and includes positive integers like 1, 2, 3, negative integers like -1, -2, -3, and zero. Integers can be classified as negative numbers, zero, or positive numbers. Subtraction of integers is done by changing the subtraction sign to addition and taking the opposite of the second number.

    INTEGERS

    WHAT ARE INTEGERS?


     The word integer originated from the Latin word “Integer” which means whole or intact.
     An integer is a number with no decimal or fractional part, from the set of negative and positive
    numbers, including zero.
     A set of integers, which is represented as Z, includes:
     Positive Integers: An integer is positive if it is greater than zero. Also called natural
    numbers or counting numbers.
    Example: 1, 2, 3,...
     Negative Integers: An integer is negative if it is less than zero.
    Example: -1, -2, -3,...
     Zero is defined as neither negative nor positive integer, thus has no sign. It is a whole
    number.

    2. SUBTRACTION OF INTEGERS

    Remember that:
     Subtraction is the opposite operations of addition.
     The terms of subtraction are called minuend and subtrahend, the outcome or result is called
    the difference.
     The minuend is the first number, it is the number from which you take something.
     The subtrahend is the second number, it is the number that is subtracted.
     The difference is the result of the subtraction.
    Example:
    4−3=1

    difference
    To subtract two integers, rewrite the subtraction expression as the first number plus the
    subtrahend
    opposite of the second number.
    minuend

    Examples:First number −¿ Second number ¿ First number +¿ Second number


    8 −¿ 15 ¿ 8 +¿ (-15) ¿ -7
    8 −¿ (-15) ¿ 8 +¿ 15 ¿ 23
    -8 −¿ 15 ¿ -8 +¿ (-15) ¿ -23
    -8 −¿ (-15) ¿ -8 +¿ 15 ¿ 7
    LET’S PRACTICE!
    1. Find the value of (-15) – 75.
    Solution:
     Write the given expression (-15) – 75
     Change the subtraction sign into an ¿ (-15) +¿ 75
    addition sign
     Take the opposite of the second ¿ (-15) +¿ (-75)
    number (opposite of 75 is -75)
     Add and write the sign of the ¿ -90
    greater number
    2. Subtract: 13 – 5.
    Solution:
     Write the given expression 13 – 5
     Change the subtraction sign into an ¿ 13 +¿ 5
    addition sign
     Take the opposite of the second ¿ 13 +¿ (-5)
    number (opposite of 5 is -5)
     Add and write the sign of the ¿ 8
    greater number

    TRY THIS!
    Directions: Fill in the blanks: Complete the missing part by using subtraction of integers.
    1. 8 – 9 ¿¿
    2. (-5) – 9 ¿¿
    3. (-4) – (-6) ¿¿
    4. (-9) – ___ ¿ 15
    5. ___ – 27 ¿ -27
