    1. The document discusses subtracting integers by subtracting a lesser number from a greater number or adding the opposite. 2. Examples show subtracting integers by changing the subtraction to addition of opposites, such as -7 - 4 = -7 + (-4) = -11. 3. Application examples calculate distances by subtracting depths from heights, such as finding the total distance from a high dive to the bottom of a pool is 22 feet.

    1-6 Subtracting Integers
    Subtracting a lesser number from a greater
    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.
    1-6 Subtracting Integers
    Example 1: Subtracting Integers
    Subtract.
    A. –7 – 4
    –7 – 4 = –7 + (–4)
    = –11

    B. 8 – (–5)
    8 – (–5) = 8 + 5
    = 13

    C. –6 – (–3)
    –6 – (–3) = –6 + 3
    = –3
    1-6 Subtracting Integers
    Check It Out: Example 1
    Subtract.
    A. 3 – (–6)
    3 – (–6) = 3 + 6
    =9
    B. –4 – 1
    –4 – 1 = –4 + (–1)
    = –5

    C. –7 – (–8)
    –7 – (–8) = –7 + 8
    =1

    Example 2: Evaluating Expressions with Integers

    Evaluate the expression for the given value of


    the variable.
    A. 8 – j for j = –6 c. n – 6 for n = –2

    8–j n–6
    B. –9 – y for y = –4
    8 – (–6) –2 – 6
    –9 – y –2 + (–6)
    8+6
    –9 – (–4) –8
    14
    –9 + 4
    –5

    Example 3: 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?

    1454 – (–43) Subtract the lowest level from


    the height.
    1454 + 43 Add the opposite of (–43).

    1497 Same sign; use the sign of the


    integers.
    It is 1497 feet from the lowest level to the top.

    Check It Out: Example 3

    The distance from the high dive to the


    swimming pool is 10 feet. The pool is 12 feet
    deep. What is the total distance from the high
    dive to the bottom of the pool?
    10 – (–12) Subtract the depth of the pool from the
    height of the high dive.
    10 + 12 Add the opposite of (–12).

    22 Same sign; use the sign of the integers.

    It is 22 feet from the diving board to the bottom


    of the pool.

    6. Suretta is flying in an airplane and rises an


    additional 20 feet. Then she descends 190
    feet toward the ground. How far below her
    original height did Suretta go? 170 feet
