1. Adding and Subtracting Real Numbers
objectives
Add two numbers with the same sign.
Add two numbers with different sign.
Use the definition of subtraction.
Use the rules for order of operations with real numbers.
Translate words and phrases involving addition and subtraction.
Use signed numbers to interpret data.

2. Objective 1 Add two numbers with the same sign
Add the numbers. If both are positive, the sum is positive;
if both are negative, the sum is negative.
Add two positive numbers: 3+6= +3 +6
Add two negative numbers: -3 + (-6)=
- 3
- 6

3. Objective 2 Add two numbers with the different sign
Find the absolute values of the numbers and subtract
the lesser absolute value from the grater. Give the answer
the same sign as the number having the grater absolute value
Example 3
Use a number line to find . –5 +8
Step 1 Draw an arrow from 0 to 8.
Step 2 Then draw a second arrow 5 units to the left to represent adding –5.
Step 3 The second arrow ends at the sum 3.
Answer:

4. Objective 2 Add two numbers with the different sign
Find the absolute values of the numbers and subtract
the lesser absolute value from the grater.
Give the answer the same sign as the number having
the grater absolute value.
Example 3
Example 4
Find the sum −𝟏𝟐+𝟓 .
Find the sum .
The sum will be positive , since 𝟖 > −𝟓
Answer .
The sum will be negative , since −𝟏𝟐 > 𝟓

5. Adding Mentally Find 7+ −4 = Find −10+7= Find −8+12= Find −16+16=
Example 2-2a

6. Objective 3 Subtracting real numbers
To subtract signed numbers, add the opposite.
(A.T.O.) and use the rules of addition.
6 – (+3) =
6 + (-3) =
6 – (-3) =
6 + (+3) =
-8 – (+2) =
-8 + (-2) =
-30 – (-50) =
-30 + (+50) =

7. Mental Math. Find each difference

12. Multiplying and dividing Real Numbers.
Vocabulary: multiplicative inverse
reciprocal
What you’ll learn
To find products and quotients of real numbers.

13. Multiplication of real numbers
The product of two numbers having the same sign is positive.
The product of two numbers having different sign is negative.

14. Multiply Rational Numbers
Multiplying rational numbers is similar to multiplying integers.
Example:
Example:
Simplify by 3
Simplify by 3
Simplify by 2

15. Evaluate expressions that contain rational numbersif

16. Multiplicative property of -1
The product of any number and -1 is its called additive inverse.
For any number a, -1( a ) = a( -1 ) = - a
Example:

17. Division of real numbers
The quotient of two numbers having the same sign is positive.
The quotient of two numbers having different sign is negative.

18. The fraction bar is a grouping symbol
Simplify before dividing
The fraction bar is a grouping symbol
Example: Simplify the expression

19. Dividing Rational Numbers
The sign rules for division with integers also apply to division with rational numbers.
Remember that to divide by any nonzero number, multiply by the reciprocal of that number
Example:
Invert the denominator then multiply

20. Dividing Rational Numbers
Example:
Evaluate expressions that contain rational numbers if
