Integers
Subtracting a smaller number from a larger number is the
same as finding how far apart the two numbers are on a
number line. Subtracting an integer is the same as adding
its opposite.

Change the
subtraction sign
to an addition
sign and change
the sign of the
second number.

2 – 3 = 2 + (–3)
4 – (–5) = 4 + 5
a – b = a + (–b)
a – (–b) = a + b

Additional Example 1: Subtracting Integers
Subtract.
A. –7 – 4
–7 – 4 = –7 + (–4) Add the opposite of 4.
= –11
Same sign; use the sign
of the integers.
B. 8 – (–5)
8 – (–5) = 8 + 5
Add the opposite of –5.
= 13
Same sign; use the sign of
the integers.
C. –6 – (–3)
–6 – (–3) = –6 + 3 Add the opposite of –3.
= –3
6 > 3; use the sign of 6.

Subtract.
A. 3 – (–6)
3 – (–6) = 3 + 6
=9
Add the opposite of –6.
Same signs; use the sign
of the integers.
B. –4 – 1
–4 – 1 = –4 + (–1) Add the opposite of 1.
= –5
Same sign; use the sign of
the integers.
C. –7 – (–8)
–7 – (–8) = –7 + 8 Add the opposite of –8.
=1
8 > 7; use the sign of 8.

Additional Example 2A: Evaluating Expressions with
Integers
Evaluate the expression for the given value of
the variable.
8 – j for j = –6
8–j
8 – (–6)
Substitute –6 for j.
=8+6
Add the opposite of –6.
= 14
Same sign; use the
sign of the integers.

Additional Example 2B: Evaluating Expressions with
Integers
Evaluate the expression for the given value of
the variable.
–9 – y for y = –4
–9 – y
–9 – (–4)
Substitute –4 for y.
= –9 + 4
Add the opposite of –4.
= –5
9 > 4; use the sign of 9.

Additional Example 2C: Evaluating Expressions with
Integers
Evaluate each expression for the given value
of the variable.
n – 6 for n = –2
n–6
–2 – 6
= –2 + (–6)
= –8
Course 3
Substitute –2 for n.
Add the opposite of 6.
Same sign; use the
sign of the integers.

Additional Example 3: Architecture Application
The top of the Sears Tower in Chicago, is
1454 feet above street level, while the
lowest level is 43 feet below street level.
How far is it from the lowest level to the top?
1454 – (–43)
1454 + 43
= 1497
Subtract the lowest level from
the height.
Add the opposite of (–43).
Same sign; use the sign of the
integers.
It is 1497 feet from the lowest level to the top.
