Objective:
The purpose of this exercise is to create a formula to solve a problem and then apply it to integers. Also that when subtracting a negative value the result is the same as adding.Help on this Topic:
In this question we create a formula as before, and think of people getting off a bus for negative values, or getting on the bus for positive values.
The only difference is that if we subtract a negative number, we replace that with adding a postivie number.
Example question
If Moscow is 11 degrees, and Leningrad is 4 degrees, how much hotter is it in Moscow
(#Temp in Moscow) - (#Temp in Leningrad)
-> This part at the bottom of the question is the formula, it means
(The temperature in Moscow) subtract (the temperature in Leningrad)
So our answer is
(11) - (4)
=7
Example question 2
If Moscow is -6 degrees, and Leningrad is -11 degrees, how much hotter is it in Moscow
(#Temp in Moscow) - (#Temp in Leningrad)
-> This part at the bottom of the question is the formula, it means
(The temperature in Moscow) subtract (the temperature in Leningrad)
So our answer is
(-6) - (-11)
Whenever we try to subtract a negative number it is the same as adding a positive number so our formula is now
(-6) + (11)
=5
