Adding and Subtracting
Signed Numbers
1.3
OBJECTIVES
1. Find the median of a set of signed numbers
2. Find the difference of two signed numbers
3. Find the range of a set of signed numbers
In Section 0.4 we introduced the idea of signed numbers. Now we will examine the four
arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) and see how
those operations are performed when signed numbers are involved. We start by considering
addition.
An application may help. As before, let’s represent a gain of money as a positive number and a loss as a negative number.
If you gain $3 and then gain $4, the result is a gain of $7:
347
If you lose $3 and then lose $4, the result is a loss of $7:
3 (4) 7
If you gain $3 and then lose $4, the result is a loss of $1:
3 (4) 1
If you lose $3 and then gain $4, the result is a gain of $1:

The number line can be used to illustrate the addition of signed numbers. Starting at the
origin, we move to the right for positive numbers and to the left for negative numbers.

You have probably noticed some helpful patterns in the previous examples. These patterns will allow you to do the work mentally without having to use the number line. Look
at the following rule.
Rules and Properties: Adding Signed Numbers Case 1: Same Sign
of two positive numbers is
positive and the sum of two
negative numbers is negative.
We first encountered absolute
values in Section 0.4.
If two numbers have the same sign, add their absolute values. Give the sum the
sign of the original numbers.
Let’s again use the number line to illustrate the addition of two numbers. This time the
numbers will have different signs.

You have no doubt noticed that, in adding a positive number and a negative number,
sometimes the sum is positive and sometimes it is negative. This depends on which of the
numbers has the larger absolute value. This leads us to the second part of our addition
rule.
Rules and Properties: Adding Signed Numbers Case 2:
Different Signs
NOTE Again, we first
encountered absolute values
in Section 0.4.
If two numbers have different signs, subtract their absolute values, the smaller
from the larger. Give the result the sign of the number with the larger absolute
value.
Example 3
Adding Signed Numbers
(a) 7 (19) 12
Because the two numbers have different signs, subtract the absolute values (19 7 12).
The sum has the sign () of the number with the larger absolute value, 19.

Subtract the absolute values (8.2 4.5 3.7). The sum has the sign () of the number
with the larger absolute value, 8.2.

In Section 1.2 we discussed the commutative, associative, and distributive properties.
There are two other properties of addition that we should mention. First, the sum of any
number and 0 is always that number. In symbols,
Rules and Properties: Additive Identity Property
For any number a,
NOTE No number loses its

Zero is called the additive

In Section 0.4 we saw that the least and greatest elements of a set were called the minimum and maximum. The middle value of an ordered set is called the median. The median
is sometimes used to represent an average of the set of numbers.
Example 6
Finding the Median
Find the median for each set of numbers.
(a) 9, 5, 8, 3, 7
First, rewrite the set in ascending order.
© 2001 McGraw-Hill Companies
8, 5, 3, 7, 9
The median is then the element that has just as many numbers to its right as it has to its left.
In this set, 3 is the median, because there are two numbers that are larger (7 and 9) and two
numbers that are smaller (8 and 5).
(b) 3, 2, 18, 20, 13
First, rewrite the set in ascending order.
20, 13, 2, 3, 18
The median is then the element that is exactly in the middle. The median for this set is 2.

CHECK YOURSELF 6
Find the median for each set of numbers.
(a) 3, 2, 7, 6, 1
(b) 5, 1, 10, 2, 20
In the previous example, each set had an odd number of elements. If we had an even
number of elements, there would be no single middle number.
To find the median from a set with an even number of elements, add the two middle
numbers and divide their sum by 2.
Example 7
Finding the Median
Find the median for each set of numbers.

To begin our discussion of subtraction when signed numbers are involved, we can look
back at a problem using natural numbers. Of course, we know that

ADDING AND SUBTRACTING SIGNED NUMBERS
SECTION 1.3

From our work in adding signed numbers, we know that it is also true that
8 (5) 3
(2)
Comparing equations (1) and (2), we see that the results are the same. This leads us to
an important pattern. Any subtraction problem can be written as a problem in addition.
Subtracting 5 is the same as adding the opposite of 5, or 5. We can write this fact as
follows:
8 5 8 (5) 3
This leads us to the following rule for subtracting signed numbers.
Rules and Properties: Subtracting Signed Numbers
1. Rewrite the subtraction problem as an addition problem by
a. Changing the minus sign to a plus sign.
b. Replacing the number being subtracted with its opposite.
2. Add the resulting signed numbers as before.
In symbols,
NOTE This is the definition of
a b a (b)

Example 8 illustrates the use of this definition while subtracting.

The subtraction rule is used in the same way when the number being subtracted is negative. Change the subtraction to addition. Replace the negative number being subtracted
with its opposite, which is positive. Example 9 will illustrate this principle.

Your scientific calculator can be used to do arithmetic with signed numbers. Before we
look at an example, there are some keys on your calculator with which you should become
familiar.
There are two similar keys you must find on the calculator. The first is used for subtraction ( ) and is usually found in the right column of calculator keys. The second will
“change the sign” of a number. It is usually a and is found on the bottom row.
We will use these keys in our next example.

117. In this chapter, it is stated that “Every number has an opposite.” The opposite of 9 is
9. This corresponds to the idea of an opposite in English. In English an opposite is
often expressed by a prefix, for example, un- or ir-.
(a) Write the opposite of these words: unmentionable, uninteresting, irredeemable,
irregular, uncomfortable.
(b) What is the meaning of these expressions: not uninteresting, not irredeemable,
not irregular, not unmentionable?
(c) Think of other prefixes that negate or change the meaning of a word to its
opposite. Make a list of words formed with these prefixes, and write a sentence
with three of the words you found. Make a sentence with two words and
phrases from each of the lists above. Look up the meaning of the word
irregardless.
What is the value of [(5)]? What is the value of (6)? How
does this relate to the above examples? Write a short description about this
relationship.
