Problems like 7 – (– 2), or (– 3) – 5 look difficult. However, subtraction is the same as adding the opposite. 7 – 3 = 4 7 + (– 3) = 4 Changing subtraction to adding the opposite simplifies subtracting positve and negative numbers. Example 1. 7 – (– 2) = ? 7 – (– 2) = ? Original problem 7 + (+2) = 9 Addition completed. 7 + (+2) Subtraction changed to adding the opposite of – 2. Example 2. (– 3) – 5 = ? (– 3) – 5 = ? Original problem –3 + (– 5) = – 8 Addition completed. (– 3) + (– 5) Subtraction changed to adding the opposite of 5. Rules for Subtracting Numbers 1. Change subtraction to addition. 2. Add the opposite. Subtraction does not have commutative or associative properties. Subtracting must be done from left to right. However, if subtraction is changed to adding the opposite, it becomes an addition problem and the commutative and associative can be used to rearranged the numbers. Example 3. Combine the numbers –8 – (–5) + (+2) – (+6) = ? – 8 – (–5) + (+ 2) – (+ 6) = ? Original problem. – 8 + (– 6) + (+ 5) + (+2) = ? Negatives and positives grouped together. – 8 + (+ 5) + (+2) + (– 6) = ? –14 + (+7) = ? –14 + (+7) = (–7) 20 ~ Algebra I Unit 1 Subtractions changed to “add the opposites.” Negatives combined and positives combined. Addition completed. Note: On the preceding pages, the “+” sign has been used to emphasize that numbers were positive. However, this is not necessary and will be discontinued from now on. Negative numbers, on the other hand, must always have the “ – ” sign. Combine the numbers using subtraction. 1.7 1. – 9 – (–2) 2. 3 – (–3) 3. 4 – 4 7. –10 – (–20) 8. 4 – (– 9) 9. – 4 – 9 4. –2 – (–1) Review 5. 0 – (– 5) 6. 10 – 12 Combine the numbers using addition. 1.6 10. 10 + (– 5) 13. 3 + 4 + 4 11. – 9 + (–3) 14. –7 + (– 6) + (– 5) Evaluate the expressions if x = 6, y = 12. 1.4 16. xy 3 17. 2xy 12. 7 + (– 8) 15. –12 + 17 + (–10) 18. x • 2y Follow the directions. 19.

Multiplying 6 by 8 gives the same answer as multiplying 8 by 6. 24. Adding positive 13 to negative 13 (or – 2 to +2) will always equal zero. 25.

Simply submerse the object being examined and the water level will rise to a height that reflects the size of the object. 22 ~ Algebra I Unit 1 1.8 Translating From Word Phrases to Math In order for two people who speak different languages to communicate, a translation from one language to the other is necessary. Mathematics, especially algebra, has a language of its own. Solving real-life problems with algebra requires translating words and ideas into mathematical symbols. The first step in translating problems into mathematical symbols is to recognize words and phrases commonly used for certain mathematical operations and relationships. Notice that there are often several different words or phrases for a mathematical idea. add Addition added to plus sum increased by more than greater than Powers/Roots Subtraction product of divide less or less than times divide into subtracted from reduce(d) by nth* root nth* power of to the nth* power of * n = any number divided by quotient of ratio of half of, third of, etc. decreased by diminished by Equality/Inequality equals cube root double, triple. etc. difference between square root cubed twice difference (of) is cube (of) Division subtract square (of) squared Multiplication is equivalent to results in Other Phrases absolute value of reciprocal of opposite of additive inverse of adds up to inverse of the result is is greater than consecutive is less than is greater than or equal to is less than or equal to 1.8 Translating From Word Phrases to Math ~ 23 When translating from one language to another, the order of the words does not always stay the same. So it is with mathematics. The order of numbers in word phrases does not necessarily stay the same when translated into mathematical symbols. When translating, the meaning of the entire expression must be considered, especially if it includes several operations. Example 1. Translate the following into mathematical symbols. a. eight increased by the square of seven is fifty-seven 8 + 72 b. three less four 3 – 4 c. three less than four 4 = 57 Notice what a difference one word can make! – 3 Variables are usually indicated with phrases such as a number, an amount, or with the actual variable. If the variable is not specified, any letter can be chosen to represent the unknown. Example 2. Translate the following into mathematical symbols. a. a number squared x 2 is less than < b. Six times a number less than 6x – sixty-five 65 four times another number c. twice the sum of three different numbers 2 Notice how the word is in a makes a difference. Notice how the words another in b and different in c indicate using different variables. 4y x+y+z Translate into symbols. Do not simplify or solve. 1.8 1. five increased by nine 2. eight less a number 5. a number less than five 6. half of a number 3. reduce twenty-two by three 4. the product of ten and three 7. the sum of the squares of six and four Review Combine the numbers using subtraction. 1.7 9. 3 – 9 12. –17 – (–18) 24 ~ Algebra I Unit 1 10. – 7 – 2 13. 14 – 18 8. the sum of two different numbers 11. – 8 – (– 8) 14. 19 – (–19) Which property is illustrated by the following statements? 1.3 15. Adding 3 to 7 gives the same answer as adding 7 to 3. 16. Multiplying 5 by 1 doesn’t change the 5. 17. Adding 2 to 4 before adding on another 9 is the same as adding 4 to 9 before adding on another 2. 18. Adding 0 to 7 doesn’t change the 7. 19.

Dietrich learned from the Guinness Book of World Records that on January 23-24, 1916, the temperature at Browning, Montana dropped 100°F from a temperature of 44°F. What was the new temperature? 26.

Evaluate. 1.2 27. 4 • | 2 – 6 | + 16 28. | 64 | ÷ | – 8 | – | – 8 | + | 16 | Combine the numbers using addition. 1.6 29. 102 + (–22) 32. – 9 + 12 + 15 30. 200 + (–100) 33. 8 + (–7) + (–7) 31. –140 + (– 30) 34. 127 + (–103) Translate into symbols.

Therefore, multiplying a positive number times another positive number gives a positive answer: 7 • 3 = 7 + 7 + 7 = 21 Multiplying a negative number by a positive number is like adding a negative number repeatedly. Therefore, multiplying a negative number by a positive number gives a negative answer: (–7) • 3 = (–7) + (–7) + (–7) = (–21) Because of the commutative property of multiplication, reversing the order of the factors does not affect the answer. Regardless of the order, whenever a positive and a negative number are multiplied, the answer will be negative: (–7) • 3 = (– 21) 3 • (–7) = (– 21) or Multiplying a negative number by a negative number gives a positive answer. The pattern below illustrates what happens to the sign of the answer when multiplication by a negative number crosses over 0. This pattern is created by multiplying (– 2) times a set of numbers that decrease by one each time. (–2) • 2 = (– 4) (–2) • 1 = (–2) (–2) • 0 = 0 (–2) • (–1) = (+2) (–2) • (–2) = (+ 4) This pattern indicates that multiplying two negative numbers together yields a positive answer. (– 6) • (–9) = (+54) (–2.75) • (– 0.25) = (+0.6875) 3 (– 34 ) • (– 15 ) = (+ 20 ) 1.8 Multiplying Positive and Negative Numbers ~ 27 Multiplying Positive and Negative Numbers Multiplying Same Signs = Positive Product positive • positive = positive negative • negative = positive Multiplying Different Signs = Negative Product positive • negative = negative negative • positive = negative Write the answers to complete the charts. 1.9 1. 3 (–7) • c __ = (–7) (–7) • (–7) • (–7) • (–7) • (–7) • = 2 = 0 = (–1) = (–2) = 2. a __ (–7) • b __ (–9) • (–3) = 27 (–9) • (–1) = 9 a __ = 18 (–9) • (–9) • 0 d __ e __ = 21 = 0 2 = (–9) • b __= (–9) (–9) • 3 (–9) • 14 0 = c __ d __ Since multiplication is repeated addition, it is also commutative and associative. A series of numbers can be multiplied in any order. However, each time the multiplication is by a negative number it reverses the sign of the product. The reversing caused by negative numbers must be observed carefully to obtain the correct sign in the answer. Example 1. Multiply: (– 4) • 3 • (–2) • (–1) • (– 5) (– 4) • negative • positive = negative 3 • (– 2) • (–1) • (– 5) (–12) negative • negative = positive 24 positive • negative = negative (– 24) negative • negative = positive 28 ~ Algebra I Unit 1 120 Multiply. 1.9 3. –3 • (– 2) • 7 • (–1) 4. 8 • (–1) • (–3) • 5 7. –1 • (–1) • (–1) • (–1) • (–1) 8. – 2 • 2 • (– 2) • 2 (– 2) 5. –10 • 4 • (– 5) • (–1) 6. – 2 • (– 5) • (–3) • (–1) Review Translate into symbols.
