Order of Operations

Substitution MATH 7 REVIEW DAY 1

Ex: Consider the addition 3 + (-2)

We can illustrate the addition using solid and hollow dots

3 + -2 = 1

Ex: Now consider the addition -3 + 2

Again illustrate the addition using solid and hollow dots

-3 + 2 = -1

To recap: 3 + 2 = 5 same sign addends

(-3) + (-2)= (-5) = -5

3 + (-2) = 1 different sign addends

-3 + 2 = - 1

Can we describe a general rule for adding integers?

We see two cases: same sign addends

different sign addends

Addition of Integers

When the addends have the same sign:

Add the numbers. Keep the sign.

When the addends have different signs:

Which sign is bigger? Use that sign for the sum.

Subtract the numbers.

Subtraction of Integers

Let a and b be integers.

Then a – b = a + (-b).

Change subtraction to

addition and change the sign

of what follows.

Subtraction of Integers

We can also use the number line and direction arrows to illustrate

subtraction of integers. Let a positive number be represented by a

right-facing arrow and a negative number

be represented by a left-facing arrow.

The operation of subtraction acts to flip the direction of

the number being subtracted’s arrow.

positive

negative

Ex: Model the subtraction 3 – (-2) using the number line to find the

difference.

0

Start at zero and draw the first addend, 3

Positive

From where the first arrow ends, draw the

second addend, - 2 Negative

Where the second arrow ends is the difference

5

Remember, subtraction flips the arrow!

Ex: Model the subtraction -3 – (-2) using the number line to find the

difference.

0

Start at zero and draw the first addend, -3 Negative

From where the first arrow ends, draw the second addend, - 2

Negative

Where the second arrow ends is the difference

-1

Remember, subtraction flips the arrow!

Multiplying Integers:

3 x 2 = 6 same sign factors

-3 x (-2) = 6

-3 x 2 = -6 different sign factors

3 x (-2) = -6

Can we describe a general rule for multiplying integers?

We see two cases: same sign factors positive

different sign factors negative

Dividing Integers:

6/3 = 2 the same sign

-6/(-3) = 2

-6/3 = - 2 different sign factors

6/(-3) = - 2

Can we describe a general rule for dividing integers?

We see two cases: same sign factors positive

different sign factors negative

Evaluate a Variable Expression – write the expression,

substitute a number for each variable, and simplify

the result.

Value of a Variable – A number that may be

substituted or assigned to a particular variable; such

as n = 3; or x = 5.

Example 1: Evaluate each expression when n = 4

Substitute 4 for n. Simplify

many of the indicated operations as possible.)
