Section 1.6
Subtracting real numbers
• Substitute the opposite of the number being
subtracted
• Then add
• a – b = a + (-b)
Example Subtract the following numbers.
(-5) – 6 – (-3) =
(-5) + (-6) + 3 = -8
Answer: 14
Answer: 0
Answer: 11.29
More on subtracting real numbers:
Example: “Subtract -5 from 8”
Write the 8 FIRST, then subtract -5 FROM the 8.
8 – (-5) = 8 + 5 = 13
Example: “Decrease -8 by 15”
This time you start with -8 and then subtract 15.
-8 – 15 = -23
Example: -6 – (2 - 11)
Do the part in parentheses first : 2 – 11 = -9
Now rewrite the problem as: -6 – (-9)
= -6 + 9 = 3
Note: You may find the number line worksheets handed out at the
last class session useful for completing these kinds of problems.
Answer: -15
Evaluating algebraic expressions:
Example: Evaluate x – y when x = -5 and y = 4
Plug in -5 in place of the x and 4 in place of y:
-5 – 4 = -9
Answer: -265 feet
Section 1.7
Multiplying or dividing 2 real numbers with same sign:
• Result is a positive number.
• Answer is positive if it’s either a positive times a positive
or a negative times a negative.

Answer: 0.42
Multiplying or dividing 2 real numbers with different
signs:
• Result is a negative number
• If multiplying more than two numbers together, count the
number of negative signs: if it’s odd, the answer is
negative, if it’s even, the answer is positive

Some more rules for multiplying and dividing:
• If b is a real number, 0 · b = b · 0 = 0.
• Multiplicative inverses or reciprocals are
two numbers whose product is 1.
• Quotient of any real number and 0 is
undefined.
3
 undefined
0
• The quotient of 0 and any nonzero real number = 0.
