Formulas
X + Y = Z
This formula represents the addition of two integers, where X and Y are any integers and Z is their sum. Used to find the total when combining quantities.
X - Y = Z
This formula represents the subtraction of two integers, where X is the starting integer, Y is the quantity to be subtracted, and Z is the result. This helps in determining how much remains.
X + (-Y) = X - Y
This shows that adding a negative number is the same as subtracting its positive counterpart. Useful for understanding how negative integers function.
0 + X = X
This property indicates that adding zero to any integer does not change its value. Essential for mastering basic arithmetic.
X + (-X) = 0
This equation signifies that a number plus its inverse yields zero. This concept is fundamental in understanding cancellation in arithmetic.
X < Y, Y > X
This represents the comparison of two integers, where X is less than Y, and conversely, Y is greater than X. Important for ordering numbers.
If X < 0, then Y < 0
This shows that if a number X is less than zero (a negative number), then it compares less than other negative numbers Y. A key concept in integer comparisons.
N = ±X
This indicates that any number N can be represented as either a positive or negative value of its absolute form X. Useful for knowing integer representation.
X = Y + Z
Here X is expressed as the sum of integers Y and Z. This is used when re-arranging formulas or solving for unknowns.
X + Y + Z = 0
This indicates that the sum of three integers X, Y, and Z results in zero. This can occur with a combination of positive and negative values.
Equations
(–2) + (5) = 3
This equation illustrates adding a negative and a positive integer. The result shows movement along the number line and reinforces addition concepts.
(3) + (–5) = –2
This equation exemplifies combining a positive integer and a negative integer. It demonstrates how movement may lead to a negative position.
0 - (–4) = 4
This shows that subtracting a negative integer is equivalent to addition, highlighting a key arithmetic principle.
2 - 5 = -3
This equation illustrates that subtracting a larger integer from a smaller results in a negative integer, which is key in understanding integer operations.
–1 + 2 = 1
This equation shows the addition of a negative integer with a positive integer, resulting in a positive outcome. It reinforces integer interaction.
X = 0: then Y - 4 < 0
This represents that when X is zero, Y must be less than 4 for the outcome to remain negative, tying in inequalities with integers.
(–6) + (6) = 0
This equation confirms that a negative and its positive counterpart cancel each other, demonstrating the principle of inverse addition.
3 - (–2) = 5
This illustrates that subtracting a negative number effectively adds its positive counterpart, valuable in problem-solving.
6 + (–10) = –4
This equation shows how a larger negative impacts a smaller positive, yielding a negative integer result, significant for integer operation understanding.
4 > –2
This states a direct comparison showing that four is greater than negative two, reinforcing the concept of positive and negative comparisons.
