 ANSWER KEY

Subtracting Integers
Subtract to find the difference between the integers.

a. 9 − ( − 5 ) = 14

b. − 6 − 4 = − 10

c. −6−(−4)=−2

d. − 5 − 8 = − 13 e. 13 − ( − 6 ) = 19

f. 0−(−3)=3 g. − 2 − 10 = − 12

h. 3 −(−4)=7 i. −8−(−8)=0

j. − 2 − 17 = − 19 k. − 8 − 8 = − 16

l. 17 − ( − 3 ) = 20 m. − 16 − 11 = − 27

n. Last night, the temperature in New York City went

down to 4°F. In Antarctica, the temperature went
