8. Answers: 1) + 8 to 0 is 8, and the distance from 0 to - 5 is 5, for a total of 13. 2) This problem is quite simple: just add $3 and $6 and the result is $9 3) - 8,000 ÷ + 4 = - 2,000. Each of Mrs. Jenson's four children will pay $2,000. Let's look at some more examples of dividing integers using the above rules 4) The opposite of - 282 is + 282, so we get: + 20,320 - - 282 = + 20,320 + + 282 = + 20,602 5) Owing $6 can be represented by - 6. Thus the problem becomes: ( - 6) ( + 4)
