maths concept of directed numbers and number line subtraction of directed numbers subtraction of integers subtraction of integers on number line

  1. $0$

  2. $80$

  3. $89$

  4. $-89$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Given that 

We have to find the  value of given expression
$-34-(-56)-(-67)$
we know that $(-) \times (-) = +$
$=-34+56+67$
$=32+67$
$ = 89$
So option $C $ is correct

Calculate $-46-(-67)=$

  1. $21$

  2. $-21$

  3. $22$

  4. $46$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Given that 

We have to find the  value of given expression
$-46-(-67)$
we know that $(-) \times (-) = +$
and  $(+) \times (-) = -$
$=-46+67$
$ = 21$
So option $A$ is correct

  1. $-7$

  2. $0$

  3. $7$

  4. $6$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Let additive inverse of $-7$ be $x$.
$-7+x = 0$

$\therefore x = 7$

$\therefore x = -2$

Addition of integer and its additive inverse is

maths concept of directed numbers and number line subtraction of directed numbers subtraction of integers subtraction of integers on number line

  1. Zero

  2. double the number

  3. half the number

  4. none

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Additive inverse of an integer is a number which is of opposite sign and when added to the integer, gives zero.

Thus, Addition of integer and its additive inverse is Zero.

$3 - (-3) = ?$.

maths concept of directed numbers and number line subtraction of directed numbers subtraction of integers subtraction of integers on number line

  1. $0$

  2. $-6$

  3. $6$

  4. $3$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
In the given equation  $3 - \left( { - 3} \right)$
We know that $ -  \times  -  =  + $
So,

$ = 3 + 3$

$ =6$

Hence, the solution is $6$

  2. 1 $\space$ -32 $\space$ positive

  3. 0 $\space$ -16 $\space$ negative

  4. 1 $\space$ -32 $\space$ negative

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

(i) Additive identity of the integers is 0.
(ii) 8 less than -24 = -24 - 8 = -32
(iii) Every integer less than zero is negative. 

Which integer is the additive inverse of itself?

maths concept of directed numbers and number line subtraction of directed numbers subtraction of integers subtraction of integers on number line

  1. $-1$

  2. $1$

  3. $0$

  4. $2$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Additive inverse of number is that when added to a number it results in $0$

Additive inverse of itself= $a+0=0$
Therefore $a=0$
Hence the correct answer is option C.

At Shimla,the temperature was $-7^0C$ on Tuesday.It then dipped by $3^0C$ on Wednesday.On Thursday,it rose by $6^0C$.What was the temperature of Shimla on Wednesday and Thursday respectively?

maths concept of directed numbers and number line subtraction of directed numbers subtraction of integers subtraction of integers on number line

  1. $-4^0C,-10^0C$

  2. $-10^0C,-4^0C$

  3. $-12^0C,-8^0C$

  4. $-10^0C,-40^0C$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
temperature on Tuesday is= $-7^{0}$
temperature on Wednesday is drop by $3^{0}C$ then temperature on Wednesday is equals to= $-7^{0}C-3^{0}C=-10^{0}C$
Now on Thursday temp. raise by $6^{0}C$ then temp. on Thursday is=$-10^{0}C+6^{0}C=-4^{0}C$ 
hence option $B$ is correct.
