Positive and negative numbers are used when keeping track of money.

+ Positive +$$ you earn

- Negative -$$ you spend

Positive Numbers are Used to Show Earnings or Assets

When you get paid (or win the lottery), you add that $$ to your account.

Part IV

How do we know that “Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive” is true?We can use the same method we use to check our answers when we do regular subtraction.

When you subtract a – b it equals c a – b = c ex. 5 – 2 = 3

To check if your answer is correct, add b and c a = b + c ex. 5 = 2 + 3

If a – b = c, and….

2 – (-5) is the same as

2 + (+5), which equals 7,

Then let’s check with the negative numbers to see if it’s true…

Here are some examples:

a – b = c a = b + c9 – 5 = 4 9 = 5 + 4

a – b = c a = b + c20 – 3 = 17 20 = 3 + 17

If the method for checking subtraction works, it shouldalso work for subtracting negative numbers.

a – b = c a = b + c2 – (-5) = 7 2 = -5 + 7

It works!

a – b = c a = b + c-11 – (-3) = -8 -11 = -3 + -8

YES!
