2.2 Subtracting Rational Numbers 2.2 – Subtracting Rational #s Goals / “I can…” Subtract rational numbers Apply subtraction 2.2 – Subtracting Rational #s Example: Using a number line Yesterday when we added, we moved the line to the right. Today when we subtract we move it to the left. 2.2 – Subtracting Rational #s Using your calculator, do the following problems: 5 + (-7) = 5–7= -6 + (-3) = -6 – 3 = What conclusion can you make? 2.2 – Subtracting Rational #s RULE: Add the opposite - to subtract a number, switch the subtraction sign to add and take the opposite of the next number 2.2 – Subtracting Rational #s Example: -6 – 7 = 2.5 – (-7.6) = 2.2 – Subtracting Rational #s How did we solve 8 ? 2.2 – Subtracting Rational #s What if we had more than one number in the absolute value? Treat them like parentheses. 2.2 – Subtracting Rational #s Example: Simplify 12 6 19 27 14 (16) 2.2 – Subtracting Rational #s Example: Evaluating Expressions Let x = -3 and y = -6 1. x – y 2. y – x 3. –x – y 4. –x – (-y)
