Example 1A: Adding and Subtracting Numbers
on a Number line
Add or subtract using a number line.
Start at 0. Move left to –4.

–4+ (–7) = –11
To add –7, move left 7 units.

Add or subtract using a number line.
Start at 0. Move right to 3.
To subtract –6, move right 6 units.

Example 2B: Adding Real Numbers
Add.
y + (–2) for y = –6
First substitute –6 for y.
Holt Algebra 1
When the signs are the same, find the sum of the absolute values: 6 + 2 = 8.
Both numbers are negative, so the sum is negative.

Two numbers are opposites if their sum is 0. A number and its opposite are on opposite sides of zero on a number line, but are the same

number line, but are the same distance from zero. They have the same absolute value.
1-2 Adding and Subtracting Real Numbers
A number and its opposite are additive inverses.
To subtract signed numbers, you can use additiveinverses.
Additive inverses
Subtracting 6 is the same
as adding the inverse of 6.
Holt Algebra 1
11 – 6 = 5 11 + (–6) = 5
Additive inverses
Subtracting a number is the same as adding the
opposite of the number.

Subtract.
–6.7 – 4.1
To subtract 4.1, add –4.1.
Example 3A: Subtracting Real Numbers
Holt Algebra 1
When the signs of the numbers
are the same, find the sum of the
absolute values: 6.7 + 4.1 = 10.8.
Both numbers are negative, so
the sum is negative.

Example 4: Oceanography Application
An iceberg extends 75 feet above the sea. The bottom of the iceberg is at an elevation of –247 feet. What is the height of the iceberg?
Find the difference in the elevations of the top of the iceberg and
the bottom of the iceberg.
Holt Algebra 1

Minus elevation at bottomof iceberg
–247
75 – (–247)
75 – (–247) = 75 + 247
= 322
The height of the iceberg is 322 feet.
