The absolute value of a number is the
distance from zero on a number line. The
absolute value of 5 is written as |5|.

Example 2A: Adding Real Numbers
Add.
When the signs of numbers are
different, find the difference of the
absolute values:
Use the sign of the number with
the greater absolute value.
The sum is negative.

Example 2B: Adding Real Numbers
Add.
y + (–2) for y = –6
(–6) + (–2)
First substitute –6 for y.
(–6) + (–2)
When the signs are the same,
find the sum of the absolute
values: 6 + 2 = 8.

Both numbers are negative,
so the sum is negative.

Add.
x + (–68) for x = 52
First substitute 52 for x.
52 + (–68)

Use the sign of the number
with the greater value.
The sum is negative.
Holt Algebra 1
1-2 Adding and Subtracting Real Numbers
Two numbers are opposites if their
sum is 0. A number and its opposite
are on opposite sides of zero on a
number line, but are the same
distance from zero. They have the
same absolute value.
Holt Algebra 1
1-2 Adding and Subtracting Real Numbers
A number and its opposite are additive inverses.
To subtract signed numbers, you can use additive
inverses.
Subtracting 6 is the same
as adding the inverse of 6.
Additive inverses
11 – 6 = 5
11 + (–6) = 5
Subtracting a number is the same as adding the
opposite of the number.

Keep, Change, Change!!!
Keep the 1st Number, change the
subtraction sign to a plus sign,
and change the (+)or(-) of the
2nd number

Example 3A: Subtracting Real Numbers
Subtract.
–6.7 – 4.1
Keep –6.7
To subtract 4.1, add –4.1.
Change – to +
Change 4.1 to -4.1
-6.7 + (-4.1)
–10.8
Holt Algebra 1
Signs are the same, so add
and keep the negative sign.

Write the answer in the simplest form.
Both numbers are negative, so the
sum is negative.

13 – 21 = 13 + (–21)
To subtract 21 add –21.
When the signs of the
numbers are different, find
the difference of the absolute
values: 21 – 13 = 8.

Subtract.
x – (–12) for x = –14
x – (–12) = –14 – (–12)
–14 + (12)
First substitute –14 for x.
To subtract –12, add 12.
When the signs of the
numbers are different, find
the difference of the absolute
values: 14 – 12 = 2.

Example 4: Oceanography Application
An iceberg extends 75 feet above the sea.
The bottom of the iceberg is at an elevation
of –247 feet. What is the height of the
iceberg?
Find the difference in the elevations of the top of the iceberg and
the bottom of the iceberg.

–247
75 – (–247)
75 – (–247) = 75 + 247
To subtract –247, add 247.
Find the sum of the

What if…? The tallest known iceberg in the North
Atlantic rose 550 feet above the oceans surface.
How many feet would it be from the top of the
tallest iceberg to the wreckage of the Titanic,
which is at an elevation of –12,468 feet?
elevation at

550
Minus
–
elevation of the
Titanic –12,468
550 – (–12,468)
To subtract –12,468,
550 – (–12,468) = 550 + 12,468 add 12,468.
Find the sum of the
= 13,018
absolute values.
Distance from the iceberg to the Titanic is 13,018 feet.
