Download UNIT II Algebra 1 - Sections 2.2, 2.3, & 2.5

The set of all numbers that can be represented on
a number line are called real numbers. You can
use a number line to help you with addition and
subtraction of real numbers.
Addition
To add a number, always move to the right.
Subtraction
To subtract a number, always move to the left.
BUT:
If adding or subtracting a NEGATIVE number,
switch directions.
Add or subtract using a number line.
–3 + 7
Start at 0. Move left to –3.
To add 7, move right 7 units.
+7
–3
-3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
–3 + 7 =
4
Add or subtract using a number line.
–4 + (–7)
+ (–7)
Start at 0. Move left to –4.
To add –7, move left 7 units.
11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3
–4 + (–7) =
–11
–4
2 1 0
Add or subtract using a number line.
3 – (–6)
Start at 0. Move right to 3.
To subtract –6, move right 6 units.
–(–6)
+3
-3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
3 – (–6) =
9
Add or subtract using a number line.
–3 – 7
Start at 0. Move left to –3.
To subtract 7, move left 7 units.
–7
–3
11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
–3 – 7 = –10
Subtracting can be thought of as the “opposite of”.
5 – (–4)
5 − (–4) = 5 + 4
5−
(5 (–
+44) = 5
9)+ 4
=9
To subtract –4, add 4.
Add or subtract using a number line.
–5 – (–6.5)
Start at 0. Move left to –5.
To subtract –6.5, move right
6.5 units.
– (–6.5)
–5
8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 1 2
–5 – (–6.5) =
1.5
Another way to look at it:
a) 7 + 12
So, try some now:
b) –2 – 9
1)
c)
d)
6 – (–8)
–5 + 8
e)
5 - 14
–13 – 4
2)
10 – (-9)
3)
–11 + 6
4)
2 +(-13)

Multiplying and Dividing
Rational Numbers
When you multiply or divide two numbers, the signs of the
numbers determine whether the result is positive or negative.

Stock Market Example
500,000 (1.25) = $625,000 DROP!!
Two numbers are reciprocals if their product is 1.
A number and its reciprocal are called multiplicative inverses.
To divide by a number, you can multiply by its
multiplicative inverse.
Evaluate the expression.

Helpful Hint
You can write the reciprocal of a number by
switching the numerator and denominator. A
number written without a denominator has a
denominator of 1.
