(ii) 42 −(−36) = 42 + 36 = 78

(iii) -53 - (-37) = (-53) - (-37) = -16

(iv) -34 - (-66) = -34 + 66 = 32

(v) 0 - 318 = -318

(vi) (-240) - (-153) = -87

(vii) 0 - (-64) = 0 + 64 = 64

(viii) 144 - (-56) = 144 + 56 = 200

Question 5:

Subtract the sum of − 1032 and 878 from − 34.

Answer:

Sum of −1032 and 878 = −1032 + 878
= -154

Subtracting the sum from −34, we get
−34 − (−154)
= (−34)+ 154
= 120

Question 6:

Subtract − 134 from the sum of 38 and − 87.

Answer:

First, we will calculate the sum of 38 and −87.
38 + (−87) = −49

Now, subtracting −134 from the sum, we get:
−49 − (−134)
=(−49) + 134
= 85

Question 7:

(ii) −83 (∵ Associative property)

(iii) 53 (∵ Commutative property)

(iv) −76 (∵ Commutative property)

(v) 0 (∵ Additive identity)

(vi) 83 (∵ Additive inverse)

(vii) (−60) − (−59) = −1

(viii) (−40) − (−31) = −9

Question 8:

Simplify:

{−13−(−27)} + {−25−(−40)}.

Answer:

{−13 − (−27)} + {−25 − (−40)}
= {−13 + 27} + {−25 + 40}
=14 + 15
= 29

Question 9:

Find 36 − (−64) and (−64) − 36. Are they equal?

Answer:

36 − (−64) = 36 + 64 = 100

Now, (−64) − 36 = (−64) + (−36) = −100

Here, 100 $\neq$ −100

Thus, they are not equal.

Question 10:

If a = − 8, b = − 7, c = 6, verify that (a+b) + c = a + (b+c).

Answer:

(a + b) + c = (−8 + (−7)) + 6 = −15 + 6 = −9

a + (b + c) = −8 + (−7 + 6) = −8 + (−1) = −9

Hence, (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) [i.e., Property of Associativity]

Question 11:

If a = − 9 and b = − 6, show that (a−b) ≠ (b−a).

Answer:

Here, (a − b) = −9 − (−6) = −3

Similarly, (b − a) = −6 − (−9) = 3

∴ (a−b) ≠ (b−a)

Question 12:

The sum of two integers is − 16. If one of them is 53, find the other.

Answer:

Let the other integer be a. Then, we have:

53 + a = −16
⇒ a = −16 − 53 = −69

∴ The other integer is −69.

Question 13:

Ths sum of two integers is 65. If one of them is − 31, find the other.

Answer:

Let the other integer be a.
Then, −31 + a = 65
⇒ a = 65 − (−31) = 96

∴ The other integer is 96.

Question 14:

The difference of an integer a and (−6) is 4. Find the value of a.

Answer:

We have:

a − (−6) = 4
⇒ a = 4 + (−6) = −2

∴ a = −2

Question 15:

Write a pair of integers whose sum gives

(i) zero;
(ii) a negative integer;
(iii) an integer smaller than both the integers;
(iv) an integer greater than both the integers;
(v) an integer smaller than only one of the integers.

Answer:

(i) Consider the integers 8 and −8. Then, we have:
8 + (−8) = 0

(ii) Consider the integers 2 and (−9). Then, we have:
2 + (−9)= −7, which is a negative integer.

(iii) Consider the integers −4 and −5. Then, we have:
(−4) + (−5) = −9, which is smaller than −4 and −5.

(iv) Consider the integers 2 and 6. Then, we have:
2 + 6 = 8, which is greater than both 2 and 6.

(v) Consider the integers 7 and −4. Then, we have:
7 + (−4) = 3, which is smaller than 7 only.

(i) The smallest integer is zero.
(ii) − 10 is greater than − 7
(iii) Zero is larger than every negative integer.
(iv) The sum of two negative integers is a negative integer.
(v) The sum of a negative integer and a positive integer is always a positive integer.

Answer:

(i) F (false). −3, −90 and −100 are also integers. We cannot determine the smallest integer, since they are infinite.

(ii) F (false). −10 is less than −7.

(iii) T (true). All negative integers are less than zero.

(iv) T (true).

(v) F (false). Example: −9 + 2 = −7

Question 4:

What will be the sign of the product, if we multiply 90 negative integers and 9 positive integers?

Answer:

Multiplying 90 negative integers will yield a positive sign as the number of integers is even.
Multiplying any two or more positive integers always gives a positive integer.
The product of both(the above two cases) the positive and negative integers is also positive.
Therefore, the final product will have a positive sign.

Question 5:

What will be the sign of the product, if we multiply 103 negative integers and 65 positive integers?

Answer:

Multiplying 103 negative integers will yield a negative integer, whereas 65 positive integers will give a positive integer.
The product of a negative integer and a positive integer is a negative integer.

∴ a = 6 − (−3) = 9

Question 16:

Mark (✓) against the correct answer
The sum of two integers is −4. If one of them is 6, then the other is

(a) −10
(b) 10
(c) 2
(d) −2

Answer:

(a) −10
Let the other integer be a. Then, we have:
6 + a = −4
∴ a = −4 − 6 = −10

Hence, the other integer is −10.

Question 17:

Mark (✓) against the correct answer
The sum of two integers is 14. If one of them is −8, then the other is

(a) 22
(b) −22
(c) 6
(d) −6

Answer:

(a) 22
Let the other integer be a. Then, we have:
−8 + a = 14
∴ a = 14 + 8 = 22

Hence, the other integer is 22.

Question 18:

Mark (✓) against the correct answer
The additive inverse of −6 is
(a) $\frac{1}{6}$
(b) $- \frac{1}{6}$
(c) 6

(a) 34
(b) −34
(c) 152
(d) −152

Answer:

(c) 152
Let the other integer be a. Then, we have:
−59 + a = 93

Question 24:

Mark (✓) against the correct answer
(?) ÷ (−18) = −5

(a) −90
(b) 90
(c) none of these

Answer:

(b) 90

$x \div (- 18) = - 5 \Rightarrow \frac{x}{- 18} = - 5 ∴ x = - 18 \times - 5 = 90$

Question 1:

The sum of two integers is −12. If one of them is 43, find the other.

Answer:

Let the other integer be a. Then, we have:
a + (−12) = 43
⇒ a = 43 − (−12) = 55

Hence, the other integer is 55.

Question 2:

The difference of an integer p and −8 is 3. Find the value of p.

Answer:

Given:
p − (−8)= 3
⇒ p = 3 + (−8)
⇒ p = −5

Hence, the value of p is −5.

Question 3:

Add the product of (−16) and (−9) to the quotient if (−132) by 6.

Answer:

Product of (−16) and (−9) = $(- 16) \times (- 9)$ = 144
Now, $(- 132) \div 6$ gives the quotient −22.

∴ 144 + (−22) = 122

Question 4:

By what number should (−240) be divided to obtain 16?

Answer:

Suppose that a divides −240 to obtain 16. Then, we have:

(−240) $\div$ a = 16
⇒ a = (−240) $\div$ 16 = −15

Hence, −15 should divide −240 to obtain 16.

Question 5:

What should be divided by (−7) to obtain 12?

Answer:

Let a be divided by (−7) to obtain 12. Then, we have:

$a \div (- 7) = 12$
⇒ a = $- \frac{7}{12}$

Hence, $- \frac{7}{12}$ should be divided by −7 to obtain 12.

The sum of two integers is −6. If one of them is 2, then the other is

(a) −4
(b) 4
(c) 8
(d) −8

Answer:

(d) −8
Let the other integer be a. Then, we have:

Suppose that a is subtracted from −7. Then, we have:

−7 − a = −15
a = −7 + 15 = 8

∴ 8 must be subtracted from −7 to obtain −15.
