Without using a calculator or algebra discs, find the

value of:
(a) 9 + (-2) (b) -7 + 4 (c) 3 + (-5)

(d) -6 + (-8) (e) 27 + (-13) (f) -25 + 11

Worked Example 1

The temperature of a city at night is -5 ℃. The next

morning, the temperature rises by 3 ℃. Find the
temperature in the morning.

Solution:
Temperature in the morning = -5 + 3
= -2 ℃
Practise Now 1

The temperature of a town at night is -8 ℃. The next

morning, the temperature rises by 2 ℃. Find the
temperature in the morning.

Solution:
Temperature in the morning = -8 + 2
= -6 ℃

Worked Example 2

Solution:
Point A shows -10 ℃.
Point B shows 15 ℃.
Difference in temperature = 15 ℃ - (-10 ℃)
= 15℃ + 10 ℃
= 25 ℃
Practise Now 2

Solution:
Point A shows -10 ℃.
Point B shows 23 ℃.
Difference in temperature = 23 ℃ - (-10 ℃)
= 23 ℃ + 10 ℃
= 33 ℃
Practise Now 2

Solution:
Point C = 314 m above sea level
Point D = -165 m above sea level
Difference in altitude = 314 - (-165)
= 314 + 165
= 479 m
