= -52

(ii) 25 – (-15)

= 25 + 15

= 40

(iii) -43 – (-28)

= -43 + 28

= -15

(iv) -37 – 68

= -105

(v) 0 – 219

= -219

(vi) 0 – (-92)

= 0 + 92

= 92

(vii) -250 – (-135)

= -250 + 135

= -115

(viii) -287 – (-2768)

= -287 + 2768

= 2481

(ix) -271 – 6240

= -6511

(x) 6250 – (-3012)

= 9262

Question 2:

Subtract the sum of -1050 and 813 from -23.

Solution:

Sum of -1050 and 813:

-1050 + 813

= -237

Subtracting the sum of -1050 and 813 from -23:

-23 – (-237)

= -23 + 237

= 214

Question 3:

Subtract the sum of -250 and 138 from the sum of 136 and -272.

Solution:

Sum of 138 and -250:

138 + (-250)

= 138 – 250

= -112

Sum of 136 and -272:

= 136 + (-272)

= 136 – 272

= -136

Subtracting the sum of -250 and 138 from the sum of 136 and -272:

-136 – (-112)

= -136 + 112

= -24

Question 4:

From the sum of 33 and -47, subtract -84.

Solution:

33 + (-47)

= 33 – 47

= -14

Subtracting -84 from -14:

-14 – (-84)

= -14 + 84

= 70

Question 5:

Add -36 to the difference of -8 and -68.

Solution:

Difference of -8 and -68:

-8 – (-68)

= -8 + 68

= 60

-36 + 60

= 24

Question 6:

Simplify:

(i) [37 – (-8)] + [11 – (-30)]

(ii) [-13 – (-17)] + [-22 – (-40)]

Solution:

(i) [37 – (-8)] + [11 – (-30)]

= (37 + 8) + (11 + 30)

= 45 + 41

= 86

(ii) [-13 – (-17)] + [-22 – (-40)]

= (-13 + 17) + (-22 + 40)

= 4 + 18

= 22

Question 7:

Find 34 – (-72) and (-72) – 34. Are they equal?

Solution:

No they are not equal.

34 – (-72)

= 34 + 72

= 106

(-72) – 34

= -72 – 34

= -106

Since 106 is not equal to -106, the two expressions are not equal.

Question 8:

The sum of two integers is -13. If one of the numbers is 170, find the other.

Solution:

Let the other integer be x.

According to question, we have:

x + 170 = -13

$\Rightarrow$ x = -13 – 170

$\Rightarrow$ x = -183

Thus, the other integer is -183.

Question 9:

The sum of two integer is 65. If one of the integers is -47, find the other.

Solution:

Let the other integer be x.

According to question, we have:

x + (-47) = 65

$\Rightarrow$ x – 47 = 65

$\Rightarrow$ x = 65 + 47

$\Rightarrow$ x = 112

Thus, the other integer is 112.

Question 10:

Which of the following statements are true and which are false?

(i) The sum of two integer is always an integer.

(ii) The difference of two integers is always an integer.

(iii) -14 > -8 – (-7)

(iv) -5 – 2 > -8

(v) (-7) – 3 = (-3) – (-7)

Solution:

(i) True

An integer added to an integer gives an integer.

(ii) True

An integer subtracted from an integer gives an integer.

(iii) False

-8 – (-7)

= -8 + 7

= -1

Since 14 is greater than 1, -1 is greater than -14.

(iv) True

-5 – 2 = -7

Since 8 is greater than 7, -7 is greater than -8.

-7 > -8

(v) False

L.H.S.:

(-7) – 3 = -10

R.H.S.:

(-3) – (-7)

-3 + 7

= 4

Therefore, L.H.S. $\neq$ R.H.S.

Question 11:

The point A is on a mountain which is 5700 metres above sea level and the point B is in a mine which is 39600 metres below sea level. Find the vertical distance between A and B.

Solution:

Let us consider the height above the sea level as positive and that below the sea level as negative.

Therefore, Height of point A from sea level = 5700 m

Depth of point B from sea level = -39600 m

Vertical distance between A and B = Distance of point A from sea level – Distance of point B from sea level = 5700 – (-39600)

= 45300 m

Question 12:

On a day in Srinagar, the temperature at 6 p.m. was 1oC but at midnight that day, it dropped to -4oC. By how many degrees Celsius did the temperature fall?

Solution:

Initial temperature of Srinagar at 6 p.m. = 1oC

Final temperature of Srinagar at midnight = -4oC

Change in temperature = Final temperature – Initial temperature

= (-4 – 1)oC = -5oC

So, the temperature has changed by -5oC.

So, the temperature has fallen by 5oC.
