Negative numbers

Numbers less than 0 are called negative numbers.


A number is made up of an absolute value with
a positive or negative sign in front .

Positive integers are whole numbers ↓
such as 1 , 2, 3 ,
4... while negative absolute
integers are numbers such as value.

Addition and subtraction involving negative


integers .
1) Addition of two negative integers
Adding
·
two negative integers will give
the same result as the negative sum of
their absolute values : Eg)(-2) + ( 3) = 5 - -
.

2) Addition of positive and negative integers


a
·

Adding a negative integer gives the same


result as subtracting the absolute value of
a negative integer. Eg)5 + (-2) 5 = 2
-
= 3
3) subtraction between positive integers 2
·
subtracting a greater positive integerss .
from a smaller positive integer gives the
same result as the negative of the difference .

Eg) 2 5 3 - = -

4) subtraction of a positive integer from


a negative integer .
·
subtracting a positive integer from a
negative integer gives the same result
as the negative sum of the absolute
values. Eg) 5-2 5+2 .

5) subtraction of a negative interger


·
subtracting a negative integer gives the
same result as adding the absolute
value of the negative interger . Eg :
5 ( 2) = 5 + 2 = 7
