Rules for adding and subtracting positive numbers. Adding numbers with different signs
In this lesson we will learn adding and subtracting integers, as well as rules for their addition and subtraction.
Recall that integers are all positive and negative numbers, as well as the number 0. For example, the following numbers are integers:
−3, −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, 3
Positive numbers are easy, and. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about negative numbers, which confuse many beginners with their minuses in front of each number. As practice shows, mistakes made due to negative numbers frustrate students the most.
Lesson contentExamples of adding and subtracting integers
The first thing you should learn is to add and subtract integers using a coordinate line. It is not at all necessary to draw a coordinate line. It is enough to imagine it in your thoughts and see where the negative numbers are located and where the positive ones are.
Let's consider the simplest expression: 1 + 3. The value of this expression is 4:
This example can be understood using a coordinate line. To do this, from the point where the number 1 is located, you need to move three steps to the right. As a result, we will find ourselves at the point where the number 4 is located. In the figure you can see how this happens:
The plus sign in the expression 1 + 3 tells us that we should move to the right in the direction of increasing numbers.
Example 2. Let's find the value of the expression 1 − 3.
The value of this expression is −2
This example can again be understood using a coordinate line. To do this, from the point where the number 1 is located, you need to move to the left three steps. As a result, we will find ourselves at the point where the negative number −2 is located. In the picture you can see how this happens:
The minus sign in the expression 1 − 3 tells us that we should move to the left in the direction of decreasing numbers.
In general, you need to remember that if addition is carried out, then you need to move to the right in the direction of increase. If subtraction is carried out, then you need to move to the left in the direction of decrease.
Example 3. Find the value of the expression −2 + 4
The value of this expression is 2
This example can again be understood using a coordinate line. To do this, from the point where the negative number −2 is located, you need to move four steps to the right. As a result, we will find ourselves at the point where the positive number 2 is located.
It can be seen that we have moved from the point where the negative number −2 is located to the right side by four steps, and ended up at the point where the positive number 2 is located.
The plus sign in the expression −2 + 4 tells us that we should move to the right in the direction of increasing numbers.
Example 4. Find the value of the expression −1 − 3
The value of this expression is −4
This example can again be solved using a coordinate line. To do this, from the point where the negative number −1 is located, you need to move to the left three steps. As a result, we will find ourselves at the point where the negative number −4 is located
It can be seen that we moved from the point where the negative number −1 is located to the left side by three steps, and ended up at the point where the negative number −4 is located.
The minus sign in the expression −1 − 3 tells us that we should move to the left in the direction of decreasing numbers.
Example 5. Find the value of the expression −2 + 2
The value of this expression is 0
This example can be solved using a coordinate line. To do this, from the point where the negative number −2 is located, you need to move to the right two steps. As a result, we will find ourselves at the point where the number 0 is located
It can be seen that we have moved from the point where the negative number −2 is located to the right side by two steps and ended up at the point where the number 0 is located.
The plus sign in the expression −2 + 2 tells us that we should move to the right in the direction of increasing numbers.
Rules for adding and subtracting integers
To add or subtract integers, it is not at all necessary to imagine a coordinate line every time, much less draw it. It is more convenient to use ready-made rules.
When applying the rules, you need to pay attention to the sign of the operation and the signs of the numbers that need to be added or subtracted. This will determine which rule to apply.
Example 1. Find the value of the expression −2 + 5
Here a positive number is added to a negative number. In other words, numbers with different signs are added. −2 is a negative number, and 5 is a positive number. For such cases, the following rule applies:
To add numbers with different signs, you need to subtract the smaller module from the larger module, and before the resulting answer put the sign of the number whose module is greater.
So, let's see which module is bigger:
The modulus of the number 5 is greater than the modulus of the number −2. The rule requires subtracting the smaller one from the larger module. Therefore, we must subtract 2 from 5, and before the resulting answer put the sign of the number whose modulus is greater.
The number 5 has a larger modulus, so the sign of this number will be in the answer. That is, the answer will be positive:
−2 + 5 = 5 − 2 = 3
Usually written shorter: −2 + 5 = 3
Example 2. Find the value of the expression 3 + (−2)
Here, as in the previous example, numbers with different signs are added. 3 is a positive number, and −2 is a negative number. Note that −2 is enclosed in parentheses to make the expression clearer. This expression is much easier to understand than the expression 3+−2.
So, let's apply the rule for adding numbers with different signs. As in the previous example, we subtract the smaller module from the larger module and before the answer we put the sign of the number whose module is greater:
3 + (−2) = |3| − |−2| = 3 − 2 = 1
The modulus of the number 3 is greater than the modulus of the number −2, so we subtracted 2 from 3, and before the resulting answer we put the sign of the number whose modulus is greater. The number 3 has a larger modulus, which is why the sign of this number is included in the answer. That is, the answer is positive.
Usually written shorter 3 + (−2) = 1
Example 3. Find the value of the expression 3 − 7
In this expression, a larger number is subtracted from a smaller number. In such a case the following rule applies:
To subtract a larger number from a smaller number, you need to subtract the smaller number from the larger number, and put a minus in front of the resulting answer.
3 − 7 = 7 − 3 = −4
There is a slight catch to this expression. Let us remember that the equal sign (=) is placed between quantities and expressions when they are equal to each other.
The value of the expression 3 − 7, as we learned, is −4. This means that any transformations that we will perform in this expression must be equal to −4
But we see that at the second stage there is an expression 7 − 3, which is not equal to −4.
To correct this situation, you need to put the expression 7 − 3 in brackets and put a minus in front of this bracket:
3 − 7 = − (7 − 3) = − (4) = −4
In this case, equality will be observed at each stage:
After the expression has been calculated, the parentheses can be removed, which is what we did.
So to be more precise the solution should look like this:
3 − 7 = − (7 − 3) = − (4) = − 4
This rule can be written using variables. It will look like this:
a − b = − (b − a)
A large number of parentheses and operation signs can complicate the solution of a seemingly simple problem, so it is more advisable to learn how to write such examples briefly, for example 3 − 7 = − 4.
In fact, adding and subtracting integers comes down to nothing more than addition. This means that if you need to subtract numbers, this operation can be replaced by addition.
So, let's get acquainted with the new rule:
Subtracting one number from another means adding to the minuend a number that is opposite to the one being subtracted.
For example, consider the simplest expression 5 − 3. At the initial stages of studying mathematics, we put an equal sign and wrote down the answer:
But now we are progressing in our study, so we need to adapt to the new rules. The new rule says that subtracting one number from another means adding to the minuend the same number as the subtrahend.
Let's try to understand this rule using the example of expression 5 − 3. The minuend in this expression is 5, and the subtrahend is 3. The rule says that in order to subtract 3 from 5, you need to add to 5 a number that is the opposite of 3. The opposite of the number 3 is −3. Let's write a new expression:
And we already know how to find meanings for such expressions. This is the addition of numbers with different signs, which we looked at earlier. To add numbers with different signs, we subtract the smaller module from the larger module, and before the resulting answer we put the sign of the number whose module is greater:
5 + (−3) = |5| − |−3| = 5 − 3 = 2
The modulus of the number 5 is greater than the modulus of the number −3. Therefore, we subtracted 3 from 5 and got 2. The number 5 has a larger modulus, so we put the sign of this number in the answer. That is, the answer is positive.
At first, not everyone is able to quickly replace subtraction with addition. This is because positive numbers are written without the plus sign.
For example, in the expression 3 − 1, the minus sign indicating subtraction is an operation sign and does not refer to one. One in this case is a positive number, and it has its own plus sign, but we don’t see it, since a plus is not written before positive numbers.
Therefore, for clarity, this expression can be written as follows:
(+3) − (+1)
For convenience, numbers with their own signs are placed in brackets. In this case, replacing subtraction with addition is much easier.
In the expression (+3) − (+1), the number being subtracted is (+1), and the opposite number is (−1).
Let's replace subtraction with addition and instead of the subtrahend (+1) we write the opposite number (−1)
(+3) − (+1) = (+3) + (−1)
Further calculations will not be difficult.
(+3) − (+1) = (+3) + (−1) = |3| − |−1| = 3 − 1 = 2
At first glance, it might seem like there’s no point in these extra movements if you can use the good old method to put an equal sign and immediately write down the answer 2. In fact, this rule will help us out more than once.
Let's solve the previous example 3 − 7 using the subtraction rule. First, let's bring the expression to a clear form, assigning each number its own signs.
Three has a plus sign because it is a positive number. The minus sign indicating subtraction does not apply to seven. Seven has a plus sign because it is a positive number:
Let's replace subtraction with addition:
(+3) − (+7) = (+3) + (−7)
Further calculation is not difficult:
(+3) − (−7) = (+3) + (-7)
= −(|−7| − |+3|) = −(7 − 3) = −(4) = −4
Example 7. Find the value of the expression −4 − 5
Again we have a subtraction operation. This operation must be replaced by addition. To the minuend (−4) we add the number opposite to the subtrahend (+5). The opposite number for the subtrahend (+5) is the number (−5).
(−4) − (+5) = (−4) + (−5)
We have come to a situation where we need to add negative numbers. For such cases, the following rule applies:
To add negative numbers, you need to add their modules and put a minus in front of the resulting answer.
So, let’s add up the modules of numbers, as the rule requires us to do, and put a minus in front of the resulting answer:
(−4) − (+5) = (−4) + (−5) = |−4| + |−5| = 4 + 5 = −9
The entry with modules must be enclosed in brackets and a minus sign must be placed before these brackets. This way we will provide a minus that should appear before the answer:
(−4) − (+5) = (−4) + (−5) = −(|−4| + |−5|) = −(4 + 5) = −(9) = −9
The solution for this example can be written briefly:
−4 − 5 = −(4 + 5) = −9
or even shorter:
−4 − 5 = −9
Example 8. Find the value of the expression −3 − 5 − 7 − 9
Let's bring the expression to a clear form. Here, all numbers except −3 are positive, so they will have plus signs:
(−3) − (+5) − (+7) − (+9)
Let's replace subtractions with additions. All minuses, except the minus in front of the three, will change to pluses, and all positive numbers will change to the opposite:
(−3) − (+5) − (+7) − (+9) = (−3) + (−5) + (−7) + (−9)
Now let's apply the rule for adding negative numbers. To add negative numbers, you need to add their modules and put a minus in front of the resulting answer:
(−3) − (+5) − (+7) − (+9) = (−3) + (−5) + (−7) + (−9) =
= −(|−3| + |−5| + |−7| + |−9|) = −(3 + 5 + 7 + 9) = −(24) = −24
The solution to this example can be written briefly:
−3 − 5 − 7 − 9 = −(3 + 5 + 7 + 9) = −24
or even shorter:
−3 − 5 − 7 − 9 = −24
Example 9. Find the value of the expression −10 + 6 − 15 + 11 − 7
Let's bring the expression to a clear form:
(−10) + (+6) − (+15) + (+11) − (+7)
There are two operations here: addition and subtraction. We leave addition unchanged, and replace subtraction with addition:
(−10) + (+6) − (+15) + (+11) − (+7) = (−10) + (+6) + (−15) + (+11) + (−7)
Observing, we will perform each action in turn, based on the previously learned rules. Entries with modules can be skipped:
First action:
(−10) + (+6) = − (10 − 6) = − (4) = − 4
Second action:
(−4) + (−15) = − (4 + 15) = − (19) = − 19
Third action:
(−19) + (+11) = − (19 − 11) = − (8) = −8
Fourth action:
(−8) + (−7) = − (8 + 7) = − (15) = − 15
Thus, the value of the expression −10 + 6 − 15 + 11 − 7 is −15
Note. It is not at all necessary to bring the expression into a understandable form by enclosing numbers in parentheses. When habituation to negative numbers occurs, this step can be skipped because it is time-consuming and can be confusing.
So, to add and subtract integers, you need to remember the following rules:

– Why did the last example cause you difficulty?
– The sum of what numbers needs to be found, and the sum of what numbers do we know how to find?
III. Lesson topic message
– Today in class we will learn the rule for adding numbers with different signs. We will learn to add numbers with different signs. Independent work at the end of the lesson will show your progress.
IV. Learning new material
– Let’s open the notebooks, write down the date, class work, lesson topic “Adding numbers with different signs.”
– What is shown on the board? (Coordinate line)
– Prove that this is a coordinate line? (There is a reference point, a reference direction, a unit segment)
– Now we will learn together to add numbers with different signs using a coordinate line.
(Explanation by students under the guidance of the teacher.)
– Let’s find the number 0 on the coordinate line. We need to add the number 6 to 0. We take 6 steps to the right side of the origin, because the number 6 is positive (we place a colored magnet on the resulting number 6). To 6 we add the number (– 10), take 10 steps to the left of the origin, since (– 10) is a negative number (we put a colored magnet on the resulting number (– 4).)
– What answer did you receive? (- 4)
– How did you get the number 4? (10 – 6)
Draw a conclusion: From a number with a larger modulus, subtract a number with a smaller modulus.
– How did you get the minus sign in the answer?
Draw a conclusion: We took the sign of a number with a large modulus.
– Let’s write an example in a notebook:
6 + (–10) = – (10 – 6) = – 4
10 + (–3) = + (10 – 3) = 7 (Solve similarly)
Entry accepted:
6 + (– 10) = – (10 – 6) = – 4
10 + (– 3) = + (10 – 3) = 7
– Guys, you yourself have now formulated the rule for adding numbers with different signs. We'll tell you your guesses hypothesis. You have done very important intellectual work. Like scientists, they put forward a hypothesis and discovered a new rule. Let's compare your hypothesis with the rule (a piece of paper with a printed rule is on the desk). Let's read in chorus rule adding numbers with different signs
– The rule is very important! It allows you to add numbers of different signs without using a coordinate line.
- What's not clear?
– Where can you make a mistake?
– In order to calculate tasks with positive and negative numbers correctly and without errors, you need to know the rules.
V. Consolidation of the studied material
– Can you find the sum of these numbers on the coordinate line?
– It is difficult to solve such an example using a coordinate line, so we will use the rule you discovered to solve it.
The task is written on the board:
Textbook - p. 45; No. 179 (c, d); No. 180 (a, b); No. 181 (b, c)
(A strong student works to consolidate this topic with an additional card.)
VI. Physical pause(Perform while standing)
– A person has positive and negative qualities. Distribute these qualities on the coordinate line.
(Positive qualities are to the right of the starting point, negative qualities are to the left of the starting point.)
– If the quality is negative, clap once, if it is positive, clap twice. Be careful!
– Kindness, anger, greed , mutual assistance,
understanding, rudeness, and, of course, strength of will And desire to win, which you will need now, since you have independent work ahead)

DURING THE CLASSES
1. Organizational moment.
Stand up straight
They sat down quietly.
The bell has now rung,
Let's start our lesson.
Guys! Today guests came to our lesson. Let's turn to them and smile at each other. So, we begin our lesson.
Slide 2- Epigraph of the lesson: “He who does not notice anything does not study anything.
He who doesn’t study anything is always whining and bored.”
Roman Sef (children's writer)
Slad 3 - I suggest playing the game “On the contrary”. Rules of the game: you need to divide the words into two groups: win, lie, warmth, gave, truth, good, loss, took, evil, cold, positive, negative.
There are many contradictions in life. With their help, we define the surrounding reality. For our lesson I need the last one: positive - negative.
What are we talking about in mathematics when we use these words? (About numbers.)
The great Pythagoras said: “Numbers rule the world.” I propose to talk about the most mysterious numbers in science - numbers with different signs. - Negative numbers appeared in science as the opposite of positive numbers. Their path to science was difficult because even many scientists did not support the idea of their existence.
What concepts and quantities do people measure with positive and negative numbers? (charges of elementary particles, temperature, losses, height and depth, etc.)
Slide 4- Words with opposite meanings are antonyms (table).
2. Setting the topic of the lesson.
Slide 5 (working with a table)– What numbers were studied in previous lessons?

– What numbers are the result of adding numbers with different signs?
– What determines the sign of the sum of numbers with different signs? (Slide 5)
– From the term with the largest modulus.
- It's like a tug of war. The strongest wins.
Slide 7- Let's play. Imagine that you are in a tug of war. . Teacher. Rivals usually meet in competitions. And today we will visit several tournaments with you. The first thing that awaits us is the final of the tug-of-war competition. Meet Ivan Minusov at number -7 and Petr Plyusov at number +5. Who do you think will win? Why? So, Ivan Minusov won, he really turned out to be stronger than his opponent, and was able to drag him to his negative side exactly two steps.
Slide 8.- . Now let's go to other competitions. The final of the shooting competition is before you. The best in this form were Minus Troikin with three balloons and Plus Chetverikov, who had four balloons in reserve. And here guys, who do you think will be the winner?
Slide 9- The competitions showed that the strongest wins. So it is when adding numbers with different signs: -7 + 5 = -2 and -3 + 4 = +1. Guys, how do numbers with different signs add up? Students offer their own options.
The teacher formulates the rule and gives examples.
10 + 12 = +(12 – 10) = +2
4 + 3,6 = -(4 – 3,6) = -0,4
During the demonstration, students can comment on the solution appearing on the slide.
Slide 10- Teacher, let’s play another game “Battleship”. An enemy ship is approaching our coast, it must be knocked out and sunk. For this we have a gun. But to hit the target you need to make accurate calculations. Which ones you will see now. Ready? Then go ahead! Please do not be distracted, the examples change exactly after 3 seconds. Is everyone ready?
Students take turns coming to the board and calculating the examples that appear on the slide. – Name the stages of completing the task.
Slide 11- Work according to the textbook: p. 180 p. 33, read the rule for adding numbers with different signs. Comments on the rule.
– What is the difference between the rule proposed in the textbook and the algorithm you compiled? Consider the examples in the textbook with commentary.
Slide 12- Teacher - Now guys, let's conduct experiment. But not chemical, but mathematical! Let's take the numbers 6 and 8, plus and minus signs and mix everything well. Let's get four experimental examples. Do them in your notebook. (two students solve on the wings of the board, then the answers are checked). What conclusions can be drawn from this experiment?(The role of signs). Let's conduct 2 more experiments , but with your numbers (1 person at a time goes to the board). Let's come up with numbers for each other and check the results of the experiment (mutual check).
Slide 13 .- The rule is displayed on the screen in poetic form .
4. Reinforcing the topic of the lesson.
Slide 14 – Teacher - “All kinds of signs are needed, all kinds of signs are important!” Now, guys, we will divide you into two teams.

In this article we will look in detail at how it is done addition of integers. First, let's form a general idea of the addition of integers, and see what the addition of integers on a coordinate line is. This knowledge will help us formulate rules for adding positive, negative, and integers with different signs. Here we will examine in detail the application of addition rules when solving examples and learn how to check the results obtained. To conclude the article, we will talk about adding three or more integers.

Understanding addition of integers
Here are examples of adding integer opposite numbers. The sum of the numbers −5 and 5 is zero, the sum of 901+(−901) is zero, and the result of adding the opposite integers 1,567,893 and −1,567,893 is also zero.
Addition of an arbitrary integer and zero
Let's use the coordinate line to understand what the result of adding two integers, one of which is zero, is.
Adding an arbitrary integer a to zero means moving unit segments from the origin to a distance a. Thus, we find ourselves at the point with coordinate a. Therefore, the result of adding zero and an arbitrary integer is the added integer.
On the other hand, adding zero to an arbitrary integer means moving from the point whose coordinate is specified by a given integer to a distance of zero. In other words, we will remain at the starting point. Therefore, the result of adding an arbitrary integer and zero is the given integer.
So, the sum of two integers, one of which is zero, is equal to the other integer. In particular, zero plus zero is zero.
Let's give a few examples. The sum of the integers 78 and 0 is 78; the result of adding zero and −903 is −903 ; also 0+0=0 .
Checking the result of addition
After adding two integers, it is useful to check the result. We already know that to check the result of adding two natural numbers, we need to subtract any of the terms from the resulting sum, and this should result in another term. Checking the result of adding integers performed similarly. But subtracting integers comes down to adding to the minuend the number opposite to the one being subtracted. Thus, to check the result of adding two integers, you need to add to the resulting sum the number opposite to any of the terms, which should result in another term.
Let's look at examples of checking the result of adding two integers.
Example.
When adding two integers 13 and −9, the number 4 was obtained, check the result.
Solution.
Let's add to the resulting sum 4 the number −13, opposite to the term 13, and see if we get another term −9.
So, let's calculate the sum 4+(−13) . This is the sum of integers with opposite signs. The modules of the terms are 4 and 13, respectively. The term whose modulus is greater has a minus sign, which we remember. Now subtract from the larger module and subtract the smaller one: 13−4=9. All that remains is to put the remembered minus sign in front of the resulting number, we have −9.
When checking, we received a number equal to another term, therefore, the original sum was calculated correctly.−19. Since we received a number equal to another term, the addition of the numbers −35 and −19 was performed correctly.
Adding three or more integers
Up to this point we have talked about adding two integers. In other words, we considered sums consisting of two terms. However, the combinative property of adding integers allows us to uniquely determine the sum of three, four, or more integers.
Based on the properties of addition of integers, we can assert that the sum of three, four, and so on numbers does not depend on the way the parentheses are placed indicating the order in which actions are performed, as well as on the order of the terms in the sum. We substantiated these statements when we talked about the addition of three or more natural numbers. For integers, all reasoning is completely the same, and we will not repeat ourselves.0+(−101) +(−17)+5 . After this, placing the parentheses in any acceptable way, we will still get the number −113.
Answer:
5+(−17)+0+(−101)=−113 .

In this lesson we will learn what a negative number is and what numbers are called opposites. We will also learn how to add negative and positive numbers (numbers with different signs) and look at several examples of adding numbers with different signs.
Look at this gear (see Fig. 1).

This is not a hand that directly shows the time and not a dial (see Fig. 2). But without this part the clock does not work.

What does the letter Y stand for? Nothing but the sound Y. But without it, many words will not “work”. For example, the word "mouse". So are negative numbers: they do not show any quantity, but without them the calculation mechanism would be much more difficult.
We know that addition and subtraction are equal operations and can be performed in any order. In direct order, we can calculate: , but we can’t start with subtraction, since we haven’t yet agreed on what .
It is clear that increasing the number by and then decreasing by means ultimately decreasing by three. Why not designate this object and count like that: adding means subtracting. Then .
The number can mean, for example, an apple. The new number does not represent any real quantity. By itself, it does not mean anything like the letter Y. It's just a new tool to make calculations easier.
Let's name new numbers negative. Now we can subtract the larger number from the smaller number. Technically, you still need to subtract the smaller number from the larger number, but put a minus sign in your answer: .
Let's look at another example: . You can do all the actions in a row: .
However, it is easier to subtract the third number from the first number and then add the second number:
Negative numbers can be defined in another way.
For each natural number, for example , we introduce a new number, which we denote , and determine that it has the following property: the sum of the number and is equal to : .
We will call the number negative, and the numbers and - opposite. Thus, we got an infinite number of new numbers, for example:
The opposite of number ;
The opposite of number ;
The opposite of number ;
The opposite of number ;
Subtract the larger number from the smaller number: . Let's add to this expression: . We got zero. However, according to the property: the number that adds zero to five is denoted minus five: . Therefore, the expression can be denoted as .
Every positive number has a twin number, which differs only in that it is preceded by a minus sign. Such numbers are called opposite(see Fig. 3).
Rice. 3. Examples of opposite numbers
Properties of opposite numbers
1. The sum of opposite numbers is zero: .
2. If you subtract a positive number from zero, the result will be the opposite negative number: .
1. Both numbers can be positive, and we already know how to add them: .
2. Both numbers can be negative.
We already covered adding numbers like these in the previous lesson, but let's make sure we understand what to do with them. For example: .
To find this sum, add the opposite positive numbers and put a minus sign.
3. One number can be positive and the other negative.
If it is convenient for us, we can replace the addition of a negative number with the subtraction of a positive one: .
One more example: . Again we write the amount as the difference. You can subtract a larger number from a smaller number by subtracting a smaller number from a larger one, but using a minus sign.
We can swap the terms: .
Another similar example: .
In all cases, the result is a subtraction.
To briefly formulate these rules, let's remember one more term. Opposite numbers are, of course, not equal to each other. But it would be strange not to notice what they have in common. We called this common modulo number. The modulus of opposite numbers is the same: for a positive number it is equal to the number itself, and for a negative number it is equal to the opposite, positive. For example: , .
To add two negative numbers, you need to add their modules and put a minus sign:
To add a negative and a positive number, you need to subtract the smaller module from the larger module and put the sign of the number with the larger module:
Both numbers are negative, therefore, we add their modules and put a minus sign:
Two numbers with different signs, therefore, from the modulus of the number (the larger modulus), we subtract the modulus of the number and put a minus sign (the sign of the number with the larger modulus):
Two numbers with different signs, therefore, from the modulus of the number (the larger modulus), we subtract the modulus of the number and put a minus sign (the sign of the number with the larger modulus): .
Two numbers with different signs, therefore, from the modulus of the number (the larger modulus), we subtract the modulus of the number and put a plus sign (the sign of the number with the larger modulus): .
Positive and negative numbers have historically had different roles.
First we introduced natural numbers to count objects:
Then we introduced other positive numbers - fractions, for counting non-integer quantities, parts: .
Negative numbers appeared as a tool to simplify calculations. It was not like there were any quantities in life that we could not count, and we invented negative numbers.
That is, negative numbers did not arise from the real world. They just turned out to be so convenient that in some places they found application in life. For example, we often hear about negative temperatures. However, we never encounter a negative number of apples. What's the difference?
The difference is that in life negative quantities are used only for comparison, but not for quantities. If a hotel has a basement and an elevator is installed there, then in order to maintain the usual numbering of regular floors, a minus first floor may appear. This first minus means only one floor below ground level (see Fig. 1).
Rice. 4. Minus the first and minus the second floors
A negative temperature is negative only compared to zero, which was chosen by the author of the scale, Anders Celsius. There are other scales, and the same temperature may no longer be negative there.
At the same time, we understand that it is impossible to change the starting point so that there are not five apples, but six. Thus, in life, positive numbers are used to determine quantities (apples, cake).
We also use them instead of names. Each phone could be given its own name, but the number of names is limited and there are no numbers. That's why we use phone numbers. Also for ordering (century follows century).
Negative numbers in life are used in the latter sense (minus the first floor below the zero and first floors)
