Formulas

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

0 + X = X

This property indicates that adding zero to any integer does not change its value. Essential for mastering basic arithmetic.

5

X + (-X) = 0

This equation signifies that a number plus its inverse yields zero. This concept is fundamental in understanding cancellation in arithmetic.

6

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.

7

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.

8

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.

9

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.

10

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

1

(–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.

2

(3) + (–5) = –2

This equation exemplifies combining a positive integer and a negative integer. It demonstrates how movement may lead to a negative position.

3

0 - (–4) = 4

This shows that subtracting a negative integer is equivalent to addition, highlighting a key arithmetic principle.

4

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.

5

–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.

6

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.

7

(–6) + (6) = 0

This equation confirms that a negative and its positive counterpart cancel each other, demonstrating the principle of inverse addition.

8

3 - (–2) = 5

This illustrates that subtracting a negative number effectively adds its positive counterpart, valuable in problem-solving.

9

6 + (–10) = –4

This equation shows how a larger negative impacts a smaller positive, yielding a negative integer result, significant for integer operation understanding.

10

4 > –2

This states a direct comparison showing that four is greater than negative two, reinforcing the concept of positive and negative comparisons.
