G7 Mathematics Notes

Addition and Subtraction Of Negative Integers


Adding integers with the same signs

1.​ Add the numbers together


2.​ Keep the same sign in the sum

E.g : (+)+(+) = +

(-)+(-) = -

Adding integers with different signs

1.​ Determine which integer has the highest value in number (does not matter - or +)
2.​ Subtract the integer with the highest absolute value with the integer with the
lowest absolute value.
3.​ Keep the sign of the integer with the highest absolute value

Subtracting integers

You have to simplify when signs are next to each other first.

Same Sign : +

Different sign : -
2

If the number being subtracted is less than the number it is being subtracted by, the
answer will be positive. Otherwise, the answer will be negative.

So 3 - (-8) = 3 +8 = 11

Addition and Subtraction Of Negative Integers


First divide/Multiply just the numbers and to find the sign use
the triangle method.

Substitution
When you find out the value of a variable, you substitute the
variable with the value and complete the question.

Writing Algebraic Expressions


Expression : no answer/ just question

Equation : Answered question

Like terms : same variable parts. E.g : 3x and 9x

Constant term : term with no variable

Zero pair : a pair of terms that when added together equal to 0. E.g : 4 +(-4)

Simplifying Algebraic Expressions


Remove the brackets, arrange by terms then do part by part. You can only add like terms
together. a and a square are not like terms.
