Example Question #681 : Hspt Mathematics
Fill in the blank with the proper sign.
In order to solve this problem, we will use a number line. Numbers to the left of zero on the line are less than numbers to the right.
Therefore:
Example Question #682 : Hspt Mathematics
Fill in the blank with the proper sign.
In order to solve this problem, we will use a number line. Numbers to the left of zero on the line are less than numbers to the right.
Therefore:
Example Question #683 : Hspt Mathematics
Fill in the blank with the proper sign.
In order to solve this problem, we will use a number line. Numbers to the left of zero on the line are less than numbers to the right.
Therefore:
Example Question #684 : Hspt Mathematics
Adding a negative number to a positive number will ALWAYS be negative. True or false?
False
True
False
If the positive number is a larger constant than the negative number, your final answer will be positive so the statement above is incorrect.
Example:
Example Question #684 : Hspt Mathematics
When you multiple two negative number, you will get a positive number.
So that means 
But once you multiple a positive and negative, you will end with a negative.
So the final answer will be 
Example Question #31 : Integers
Compute the following:
Convert all the double signs to a single sign before solving. Remember, two minus (negative) signs combine to form a plus (positive) sign, and a plus (positive) sign and a minus (negative) sign combine to form a minus (negative) sign.
Example Question #93 : Arithmetic
The rules for adding integers with the same sign are:
Add the absolute value of the two numbers. Remember the absolute value of a negative number is non-negative.
Then, use the sign of the numbers. In this case both numbers are negative.
Therefore,
You can also think of this is that if you were to plot 
Example Question #685 : Hspt Mathematics
The rules for the subtraction of integers is:
Change the sign on the integer that is to be subtracted.
If both signs are positive, then the answer will be positive.
If both signs are negative, then the answer will be negative.
Therefore:
Example Question #95 : Arithmetic
The rule for subtracting a negative number from a negative number change the minus sign and the negative sign to an addition or plus sign. Then add.
Take the absolute value of both numbers and subtract. Take the sign of the higher absolute value.
The answer is positive because the higher number, 9 is positive.
Example Question #91 : Negative Numbers
One night, the temperature was 
Take the absolute value of the two numbers:
Subtract the two numbers together and take the sign of the number with the higher absolute value:
The correct answer is
