Examples:-3 - (-7)=





Sign rule: when you are multiplying integers and you have 0 or even numbers of negatives, the answer is positive. When you are multiplying integers and you have odd numbers of negatives, the answer is negative.
Examples:
(+2) x (+3)=



(-2) x (-3)=

Partitive Division is how many groups are there in a number.

6 ÷ 2 =

Even: when numbers of negative integers are even the answer is positive
6 ÷ 2 = 3 There are no negative integers so that means the quotient is positive.
-6 ÷ (-2) = 3 There are two (even) negative integers that means the quotient is positive.
(-6) ÷ 2 = -3 There is a negative integer (odd) that means the quotient is negative.
6÷(-2) = -3 There’s one negative integer that means the quotient is negative.
Chapter 4 : Order of Operations with Integers
(+5) x (-3) + (-6) ÷ (+3)
-15 + (-6) ÷ (+3)
-15 + -2
-17
When answering Order of Operations remember B.E.M.D.A.S
B = Brackets
E = Exponent
M = Multiplication
D = Division
A = Addition
S = Subtraction
1. First answer numbers with brackets Ex. ( ) or [ ]
2. Then Answer Multiplication and Division
3. Then Addition and Subtraction

Jocelle’s Great Big Book of Integers
The sign rule for division is the same as the sign rule for multiplication, addition, and subtraction.
6 ÷ 2 = 3 There are no negative signs in the question, therefore the answer it positive.
(-6) ÷ 2 = -3 There is an odd number (one) of negative signs in the question, therefore the answer is negative.
6 ÷ (-2) = -3 There is one negative sign in the question, therefore the answer is negative.

Use B.E.D.M.A.S. to solve equations except "E"
