Adding a Positive Moves Right on the Number Line

In the last Lesson, you saw that numbers on the number line are greater the farther to the right they are.

Lesson

1.1.2

To add a positive integer, move that number of positions to the right on the number line.

When you add a positive integer to any number, you’re making it greater, so you move to the right.

It doesn’t make any difference whether the original number is positive or negative — you always move to the right.

Adding a Negative Moves Left on the Number Line

When you add a negative integer, move that number of positions to the left on the number line.

Lesson

1.1.2

When you’re adding a negative number, it doesn’t matter whether you’re adding it to a positive or negative number — you always move to the left.

Subtracting a Positive is Like Adding a Negative

You already know that to add a negative integer, you move that number of positions to the left on the number line.

The method for subtracting a positive integer is exactly the same.

Using the number line, calculate 8 – 2.

Solution follows…

Lesson

1.1.2

Solution

The 2 tells you that you need to move 2 steps, and the “–” sign tells you that you need to move left.

So the answer is 6.

Subtracting a Negative Is Like Adding a Positive

You’ve already seen that adding a negative means you move left on the number line. So subtracting a negative must mean you move right on the number line.

Another way of saying this is that subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive.

Example 5

Calculate 8 – (–3).

Solution follows…

Lesson

1.1.2

Solution

8 – (–3)

This – sign tells you to go left on the number line…

…but this – sign reverses the direction again.

You end up moving 3 steps right on the number line. So you can just write 8 – (–3) as 8 + 3 = 11. 7 8 9 10 11 12

Round UpRound Up

Adding to and subtracting from integers is a matter of deciding which direction to move, then moving the correct distance.

When you’re deciding whether to go left or rightyou only need to think about whether you’re adding a positive or negative number — it doesn’t matter what you’re adding it to.
