Math Problem Statement

This worksheet involves integer addition and subtraction. There are three main sections: solving integer addition/subtraction problems, moving on a number line, and repeated subtraction by a fixed amount.

Solution

This worksheet is about integer addition and subtraction, and I can assist you with solving these problems. Let's break it down section by section:

Section 1: Integer Addition/Subtraction

This section asks you to calculate the results of several integer operations. Let's go through them one by one:

  1. (25)+(36)(-25) + (-36)

    • This is the addition of two negative numbers: (25)+(36)=61(-25) + (-36) = -61.
  2. 160+(254)160 + (-254)

    • Here you are adding a positive number to a negative number: 160+(254)=94160 + (-254) = -94.
  3. (177)+185(-177) + 185

    • Here you are adding a negative number to a positive number: (177)+185=8(-177) + 185 = 8.
  4. (23)+23(-23) + 23

    • Adding a negative and its positive counterpart will give you zero: (23)+23=0(-23) + 23 = 0.

Section 2: Number Line Problem

The question asks: "If point A is at -78 and moves 25 units to the right, which point B does it reach?"

To solve:

  • Moving 25 units to the right from -78 means you're adding 25: 78+25=53-78 + 25 = -53
  • Therefore, the answer is b=53b = -53. (Option D).

Section 3: Repeated Subtraction of 5

This exercise asks you to subtract 5 repeatedly starting from 13, filling in the blanks:

  • Starting from 13: 13+(5)=813 + (-5) = 8
  • Then: 8+(5)=38 + (-5) = 3
  • Then: 3+(5)=23 + (-5) = -2
  • Finally: 2+(5)=7-2 + (-5) = -7

Thus, the sequence is 13832713 \rightarrow 8 \rightarrow 3 \rightarrow -2 \rightarrow -7.

Tip:

When adding two numbers with different signs, subtract their absolute values and give the result the sign of the number with the larger absolute value.
