February 16 Add and Subtract with negative numbers

Adding and Subtracting positive numbers with negative numbers


Example: 5+(-7)
for this example, since the + cancels out by the -, you would solve this problem like 5-7 while ignoring the addition sign.

Example 2: 8-(-4)
since it is subtracting a negative number, you will instead act as if its a positive and add so it would be 8+4

I have posted a quiz. Take the quiz and it will be due by the end of the class. Post your  results onto your blog account so I can take a look at it.
