How can we
check
“Subtracting a
negative number
is the same as
adding a
positive” is true?
a–b=c a=b+c
20 – 3 = 17 20 = 3 + 17
If the method for checking
subtraction works, it should
also work for subtracting
negative numbers.
If a – b = c, and….
It works!
a–b=c a=b+c
-11 – (-3) = -8 -11 = -3 + -

9 + 5 = 14
-9 + -5 = -14
Integer Addition Rules
• Rule #2 –
• If the signs are different pretend the signs aren’t there.
• Subtract the smaller from the larger one
• Put the sign of the one with the larger value in front of
your answer.
Larger value -9 + +5 =
9 - 5 = 4 Answer = - 4
Integer Subtraction Rule
Subtracting a negative number is
the same as adding a positive.
Change the signs and add.
2 – (-7)
is the same as
2 + (+7)
2 + 7 = 9!
