  4. SUBTRACTING RATIONAL NUMBERS Subtracting a smaller number from a larger number is the same as finding how far apart the two numbers are on a number line. Subtracting an integer is the same as adding its opposite.

  5. SUBTRACTING RATIONAL NUMBERS Rules: Change the SUBTRACTIONsign to an ADDITION sign. Change the sign of the SECOND addend to its OPPOSITE sign. This is now an addition problem! Follow the rules for adding integers!

  6. SUBTRACTING RATIONAL NUMBERS Subtract. A. –7 – 4 –7 – 4 = –7 + (–4) Add the opposite of 4. = –11 Same sign; use the sign of the integers. B. 8 – (–5) 8 – (–5) = 8 + 5 Add the opposite of –5. = 13 Same sign; use the sign of the integers. C.–6 – (–3) –6 – (–3) = –6 + 3 Add the opposite of –3. = –3 6 > 3; use the sign of 6.

  7. SUBTRACTING RATIONAL NUMBERS Your Turn! Subtract. A. 3 – (–6) 3 – (–6) = 3 + 6 Add the opposite of –6. Same signs; use the sign of the integers. = 9 B. –4 – 1 –4 – 1 = –4 + (–1) Add the opposite of 1. = –5 Same sign; use the sign of the integers. C.–7 – (–8) –7 – (–8) = –7 + 8 Add the opposite of –8. = 1 8 > 7; use the sign of 8.

  8. SUBTRACTING RATIONAL NUMBERS Evaluate the expression for the given value of the variable. A. 8 –jfor j = –6 8 –j 8 – (–6) Substitute –6 for j. = 8 + 6 Add the opposite of –6. = 14 Same sign; use the sign of the integers.

  9. SUBTRACTING RATIONAL NUMBERS Evaluate the expression for the given value of the variable. B. –9 – y for y = –4 –9 – y –9 – (–4) Substitute –4 for y. = –9 + 4 Add the opposite of –4. = –5 9 > 4; use the sign of 9.

  10. SUBTRACTING RATIONAL NUMBERS Your Turn! Evaluate the expression for the given value of the variable. A. 11 –mfor m = –3 11 –m 11 – (–3) Substitute –3 for m. = 11 + 3 Add the opposite of –3. = 14 Same sign; use the sign of the integers.

  11. SUBTRACTING RATIONAL NUMBERS Your Turn! Evaluate the expression for the given value of the variable. B. –5 – r for r = –2 –5 – r –5 – (–2) Substitute –2 for r. = –5 + 2 Add the opposite of –2. = –3 5 > 2; use the sign of 5.

  12. SUBTRACTING RATIONAL NUMBERS Architecture Application The top of the Sears Tower in Chicago, is 1454 feet above street level, while the lowest level is 43 feet below street level. How far is it from the lowest level to the top? Subtract the lowest level from the height. 1454 – (–43) Add the opposite of (–43). 1454 + 43 = 1497 Same sign; use the sign of the integers. It is 1497 feet from the lowest level to the top.

  13. SUBTRACTING RATIONAL NUMBERS Your Turn! The distance from the high dive to the swimming pool is 25 feet. The pool is 14 feet deep. What is the total distance from the high dive to the bottom of the pool? Subtract the depth of the pool from the height of the high dive. 25 – (–14) 25 + 14 Add the opposite of (–14). = 39 Same sign; use the sign of the integers. It is 39 feet from the diving board to the bottom of the pool.

  14. SUBTRACTING RATIONAL NUMBERS • Example • Solve each equation. • n = 6 – (-4)

  15. SUBTRACTING RATIONAL NUMBERS • Example • Solve each equation. • n = 6 – (-4) • n = 6 – (-4) To subtract –4, add 4

  16. SUBTRACTING RATIONAL NUMBERS • Example • Solve each equation. • n = 6 – (-4) • n = 6 – (-4) To subtract –4, add 4 • n = 6 + 4

  17. SUBTRACTING RATIONAL NUMBERS • Example • Solve each equation. • n = 6 – (-4) • n = 6 – (-4) To subtract –4, add 4 • n = 6 + 4 • n = 10

  18. SUBTRACTING RATIONAL NUMBERS • Example • Solve each equation. • (-3) – (-7) = y

  19. SUBTRACTING RATIONAL NUMBERS • Example • Solve each equation. • (-3) – (-7) = y • (-3) – (-7) = y To subtract –7, add 7

  20. SUBTRACTING RATIONAL NUMBERS • Example • Solve each equation. • (-3) – (-7) = y • (-3) – (-7) = y To subtract –7, add 7 • (-3) + 7 = y

  21. SUBTRACTING RATIONAL NUMBERS • Example • Solve each equation. • (-3) – (-7) = y • (-3) – (-7) = y To subtract –7, add 7 • (-3) + 7 = y • 4 = y
