b. No; -5 + ( -3 ) is -8 and -3 + (-5 ) is also -8. 25 + (-26) = -1
c. -8 represents 8 ft below the surface; Jane and
Sarah both dove 8 ft below the surface. Guided Practice
19. -3 + (-1) + (-5) + (-2 ) = -11; the golfer’s total 1. 7 + (-5) = 2
score is -11.
20. -3 + (-6) = -9; the team lost a total of 9 yards.

c. Sample answer: $45, $55, and $65.
25. It is easier to add -80 + (-20) first to get -100,
and then add -173 to get -273.
26. Disagree; there are three pairs of positive integers: -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3
1 and 7, 2 and 6, and 3 and 5, and three pairs of
negative integers: -1 and -7, -2 and -6, -3 and 5. -4 + 5 = 1
-5. The absolute value of the sum of any of these
6 pairs is 8.
