California
Standards
2.0 Students understand and use such
operations as taking the opposite, finding the
reciprocal, taking a root, and raising to a fractional
power. They understand and use the rules of
exponents.

Adding and Subtracting Real Numbers
The set of all numbers that can be represented
on a number line are called real numbers. You
can use a number line to model addition and
subtraction of real numbers.
Addition
To model addition of a positive number, move
right. To model addition of a negative number,
move left.
Subtraction
To model subtraction of a positive number, move
left. To model subtraction of a negative number,
move right.

Additional Example 2: Adding Real Numbers
Add.
A.
Different signs: subtract the
absolute values.
Use the sign of the number with
the greater absolute value.
B. –6 + (–2)
(6 + 2 = 8)
–8
Same signs: add the absolute values.
Both numbers are negative, so the
sum is negative.

Add.
a. –5 + (–7)
(5 + 7 = 12)
–12
Same signs: add the absolute
values.
Both numbers are negative, so
the sum is negative.
b. –13.5 + (–22.3)
Same signs: add the absolute
(13.5 + 22.3 = 35.8)
values.
Both numbers are negative, so
–35.8
the sum is negative.

Adding and Subtracting Real Numbers
Two numbers are opposites if their sum
is 0. A number and its opposite are
additive inverses and are the same
distance from zero. They have the same
absolute value.

Adding and Subtracting Real Numbers
To subtract signed numbers, you can use additive
inverses. Subtracting a number is the same as
adding the opposite of the number.

Additional Example 3A: Subtracting Real Numbers
Subtract.
–6.7 – 4.1
–6.7 – 4.1 = –6.7 + (–4.1) To subtract 4.1, add –4.1.
(6.7 + 4.1 = 10.8)
–10.8
Same signs: add absolute
values.
Both numbers are negative, so
the sum is negative.

Helpful Hint
On many scientific and graphing calculators,
there is one button to express the opposite of a
number and a different button to express
subtraction.
