Example 2:

Find -10 - 8-18

Think: -10 + (-8)

Example 3:

Find 15 – (-4)19

Think: 15 + 4

Example 4:

Find -10 – (-7)-3

Think: -10 + 7

Example 5: What is the range for Wyoming?

West VirginiaWest Virginia -37-37 112112

WisconsinWisconsin -54-54 114114

WyomingWyoming -66-66 114114

114 + 66 = 180°F°F114 – (-66)

Example 6:

Evaluate:

m – (-2) if m = 4

6

Example 7:

Evaluate:

x - y if x = -14 and y = -2.

-12

Example 8:

Evaluate:

p + q – r

if p = -11, q = 6, and r = -12.
