Question 1.
Add:
- 8 + 6
- 9 + (-3)
- 5 + (-6)
- – 7 + 2
- – 8 + 0
- – 5 + (-2)
Solution:
| 1. 8 + 6 = (+8) + (+6) = +14 | 2. 9 + (-3) = (+9) + (- 3) = +6 | 3. 5 + (-6) = (+5) + (-6) = -1 |
| 4. -7 + 2 = (-7) + (+2) = -5 | 5. -8 + 0 = (-8) + 0 = -8 | 6. -5 + (-2) = (-5) + (-2) = -7 |
Question 2.
Complete the table given below:
| + | 8 | 4 | -3 | -5 |
| -2 | -2 + 8 = +6 | |||
| 6 | ||||
| 0 | ||||
| -4 |
Solution:
| + | 8 | 4 | -3 | -5 |
| -2 | (-2) + (+8) = +6 | (-2) +(+4) = 2 | (-2) +(-3) =-5 | (-2) +(-5) =-7 |
| 6 | (+6) + (+8) = 14 | (+6) + (+4) = 10 | (+6) + (-3) = 3 | (+6) + (-5) = 1 |
| 0 | 0 + (+8) = 8 | 0 + (+4) = 4 | 0 + (-3) = -3 | 0 + (-5) = -5 |
| -4 | (-4) + (+8) = 4 | (-4) +(+4) = 0 | (-4) + (-3) = -7 | (-4) + (-5) = -9 |
