  1. Write all the integers between −5-5 and 66.
    1 mark
    Answer and solution

    Go along the number line from −5-5 to 66, leaving out the two ends and not missing 00.

    −4,−3,−2,−1,0,1,2,3,4,5-4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

    Answer: −4,−3,−2,−1,0,1,2,3,4,5-4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

  2. Start at −11-11 on the number line and make 2424 jumps of 11 to the right. Where do you land?
    1 mark
    Answer and solution

    Jumps to the right add.

    −11+24=+(24−11)=13-11 + 24 = +(24 - 11) = 13

    Answer: 1313

  3. Add −56-56 and −59-59.
    1 mark
    Answer and solution

    Adding −59-59 to −56-56 gives −56−59-56 - 59.

    Both are negative: −56−59=−(56+59)-56 - 59 = -(56 + 59)

    =−115= -115

    Answer: −115-115

  4. Add −62-62 and 3636.
    1 mark
    Answer and solution

    This is −62+36-62 + 36.

    The signs are different: subtract the smaller from the bigger and keep the sign of the bigger.

    −62+36=−(62−36)-62 + 36 = -(62 - 36)

    =−26= -26

    Answer: −26-26

  5. Find: (i) 18−4118 - 41 (ii) −18+84-18 + 84
    2 marks
    Answer and solution

    Different signs: subtract the smaller from the bigger and keep the sign of the bigger.

    (i) 18−41=−(41−18)=−2318 - 41 = -(41 - 18) = -23

    (ii) −18+84=+(84−18)=66-18 + 84 = +(84 - 18) = 66

    Answer: (i) −23-23, (ii) 6666

  6. Find the value of −199−384-199 - 384.
    2 marks
    Answer and solution

    Both are negative: add them and keep the −- sign.

    −199−384=−(199+384)-199 - 384 = -(199 + 384)

    =−583= -583

    Answer: −583-583

  7. Find: (i) −645+56-645 + 56 (ii) 866−4804866 - 4804 (iii) −772+809-772 + 809 (iv) 7593+18197593 + 1819 (v) −87169−3323-87169 - 3323
    5 marks
    Answer and solution

    (i) −645+56=−(645−56)=−589-645 + 56 = -(645 - 56) = -589

    (ii) 866−4804=−(4804−866)=−3938866 - 4804 = -(4804 - 866) = -3938

    (iii) −772+809=+(809−772)=37-772 + 809 = +(809 - 772) = 37

    (iv) 7593+1819=94127593 + 1819 = 9412

    (v) −87169−3323=−(87169+3323)=−90492-87169 - 3323 = -(87169 + 3323) = -90492

    Answer: (i) −589-589, (ii) −3938-3938, (iii) 3737, (iv) 94129412, (v) −90492-90492

  8. Find 4072−3344072 - 334.
    2 marks
    Answer and solution

    Write the smaller number under the bigger one and subtract column by column, starting from the units.

    Units: 12−4=812 - 4 = 8 (borrow 1)

    Tens: 6−3=36 - 3 = 3

    Hundreds: 10−3=710 - 3 = 7 (borrow 1)

    Thousands: 33

    So 4072−334=37384072 - 334 = 3738

    Answer: 37383738

  9. A submarine is at −762-762 m, that is, 762762 m below sea level. It rises 155155 m. Find its new position as an integer.
    3 marks
    Answer and solution

    Rising adds: the new position is −762+155-762 + 155

    Different signs and the bigger number 762762 is negative, so −762+155=−(762−155)-762 + 155 = -(762 - 155)

    Count down: 762→200762 \to 200 is 562562, and 200→155200 \to 155 is 4545

    762−155=562+45=607762 - 155 = 562 + 45 = 607

    So −762+155=−607-762 + 155 = -607

    Answer: −607-607 m (that is, 607607 m below sea level)

  10. Work out −657−8493-657 - 8493.
    2 marks
    Answer and solution

    Both are negative: add them and keep the −- sign.

    −657−8493=−(657+8493)-657 - 8493 = -(657 + 8493)

    =−9150= -9150

    Answer: −9150-9150

  11. Evaluate 762+592−96−614762 + 592 - 96 - 614.
    3 marks
    Answer and solution

    Positive terms: 762+592=1354762 + 592 = 1354

    Negative terms: 96+614=71096 + 614 = 710

    762+592−96−614=1354−710762 + 592 - 96 - 614 = 1354 - 710

    =644= 644

    Answer: 644644

  12. The results of a shop for five days were: profit ₹587, profit ₹632, loss ₹567, loss ₹522, profit ₹325. Taking a profit as ++ and a loss as −-, find the total for the five days. Is it a profit or a loss?
    5 marks
    Answer and solution

    Total =587+632−567−522+325= 587 + 632 - 567 - 522 + 325

    Positive terms: 587+632+325=1544587 + 632 + 325 = 1544

    Negative terms: 567+522=1089567 + 522 = 1089

    587+632−567−522+325=1544−1089587 + 632 - 567 - 522 + 325 = 1544 - 1089

    =455= 455

    So the five days give a profit of ₹455.

    Answer: 455455, that is, a profit of ₹455

  15. Find the value of −87×365-87 \times 365.
    3 marks
    Answer and solution

    Sign: −×+=−- \times + = -

    365×7=2555365 \times 7 = 2555

    365×80=29200365 \times 80 = 29200

    2555+29200=317552555 + 29200 = 31755

    So 18×−15=−27018 \times -15 = -270

    (ii) −×+=−- \times + = -; 264×5=1320264 \times 5 = 1320, 264×20=5280264 \times 20 = 5280, 1320+5280=66001320 + 5280 = 6600

    So −25×264=−6600-25 \times 264 = -6600

    (iii) −×−=+- \times - = +; 112×5=560112 \times 5 = 560, 112×70=7840112 \times 70 = 7840, 560+7840=8400560 + 7840 = 8400

    So −112×−75=8400-112 \times -75 = 8400

    Answer: (i) −270-270, (ii) −6600-6600, (iii) 84008400

    5 marks
    Answer and solution

    Addition uses the addition rule; multiplication and division use the sign rule.

    (i) 3−79=−(79−3)=−763 - 79 = -(79 - 3) = -76

    (ii) +×−=−+ \times - = -, 3×−79=−2373 \times -79 = -237

    (iii) −3−41=−(3+41)=−44-3 - 41 = -(3 + 41) = -44
