Question 14:

The sum of two integers is -25. If one of them is 30 then the other is

(a) 55

(b) 5

(c) -55

(d) none of these

Solution:

(c) -55

Let x be the other integer.

x + 30 = -25

x = -25 -30

x = -55

Question 15:

The sum of two integers is 20. If one of them is -5 then the other is

(a) 25

(b) -25

(c) 15

(d) none of these

Solution:

(a) 25

Let the other integer be x

x + (-5) = 20

x – 5 = 20

x = 25

Question 16:

The sum of two integers is -13. If one of them is 8 then the other is

(a) -5

(b) -21

(c) 21

(d) none of these

Solution:

(b) -21

Let the other integer be x.

x + 8 = -13

x = -13 – 8

x = -21

Question 17:

On subtracting -8 from 0, we get

(a) -8

(b) 8

(c) none of these

Solution:

Question 25:

(-6) x 9 = ?

(a) 54

(b) -54

(c) none of these

Solution:

(b) -54

We have:

(-6) x 9

= -(6 x 9)

(a) -90

(b) 90

(c) -18

(d) 18

Solution:

(a) -90

(-9) x 6 + (-9) x 4

Using distributive law:

(-9) x (6 + 4)

= (-9) x (10)

= -90

Question 27:

36 $\div$ (-9) = ?

(a) 4

(b) -4

(c) none of these

Solution:

(b) -4

36 $\div$ (-9)

$\frac{ 36 }{ -9 }$
