LESSON 30 Chapter 2: The Number System Duplicating any part of this book is prohibited by law. © 2013 Triumph Learning, LLC UNDERSTAND Every rational number has a location on the number line Numbers to the leſt of 0 on the number line are negative Numbers to the right of 0 are positive Any numbers n and 2n are opposites, or additive inverses The sum of n and 2n is 0 You can use a number line to add or subtract rational numbers It may help you to think of the sum of p 1 q as the number located a distance |q| units from p on the number line Find the sum: 23 1 3 Use a number line 23 is negative, so move 3 units to the leſt of 0, as shown by the blue arrow To add positive 3 to that number, move 3 units to the right as shown by the green arrow The green arrow points to 0, which is the sum 23 1 3 5 0 This makes sense because 23 and 3 are additive inverses –5 –4 –3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3 4 5 - 3 + 3 5 Adding and Subtracting Rational Numbers Matt has a balance of 2$250 in his bank account He adds $250 Find his new balance The blue arrow shows moving from 0 to a point halfway between 23 and 22 That point shows 2250 The green arrow models adding 250 to that amount The sum is 0 –3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3 - 2.5 + 2.5 Matt now has a $0 balance in his bank account 2250 and 250 are additive inverses Instead of using a number line to add integers, you can look at the signs of the addends: If they have the same sign, add their absolute values and give the sum that sign If they have opposite signs, subtract the lesser absolute value from the greater absolute value Give the sum the sign of the addend with the greater absolute value
