Now, you’re probably saying, “That’s interesting and everything, BUT where are negative numbers in the real world?? ??

Positive and negative numbers are used when keeping track of money.
+ Positive +$$ you earn
- Negative -$$ you spend
Positive Numbers are Used to Show Earnings or Assets
When you get paid (or win the lottery), you add that $$ to your account.
Negative Numbers are Used to Show What You Owe or
DebtIf your mom loaned you $10 for pizza, Mom,
I. O. U.$10
The $10 you owe her is described by the integer -10.
Write an integer to describe the real world situation:

The sum of two positive numbers is always positive (+) + (+) = (+)
ex. 5 + 1 = 6
The sum of two negative numbers is always negative (-) + (-) = (-)
ex. -5 + -1 = -6
** Key Concepts **
(+) + (+) = (+) (-) + (-) = (-)
(+) + (-) = sometimes (+) = sometimes (-) = sometimes 0

Part IV
How do we know that “Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive” is true?We can use the same method we use to check our answers when we do regular subtraction.
When you subtract a – b it equals c a – b = c ex. 5 – 2 = 3
To check if your answer is correct, add b and c a = b + c ex. 5 = 2 + 3
If a – b = c, and….
2 – (-5) is the same as
2 + (+5), which equals 7,
Then let’s check with the negative numbers to see if it’s true…
Here are some examples:
a – b = c a = b + c9 – 5 = 4 9 = 5 + 4
a – b = c a = b + c20 – 3 = 17 20 = 3 + 17
If the method for checking subtraction works, it shouldalso work for subtracting negative numbers.
a – b = c a = b + c2 – (-5) = 7 2 = -5 + 7
It works!
a – b = c a = b + c-11 – (-3) = -8 -11 = -3 + -8
YES!
