Answer:

i) 4 more than 6
We want an integer that is 4 more than 6. So, we will start from 6 and proceed 4 steps to the right to obtain 10.

 
ii) 5 more than -6
We want an integer that is 5 more than -6. So, we will start from -6 and proceed 5 steps to the right to obtain -1.



iii) 6 less than 2
We want an integer that is 6 less than 2. So, we will start from 2 and proceed 6 steps to the left to obtain -4.





iv) 2 less than -3
We want an integer that is 2 less than -3. So, we will start from -3 and proceed 2 steps to the left to obtain -5

Answer:

i) False
This is because 0 is greater than every negative integer.

ii) False
0 is an integer as we know that every whole number is an integer and 0 is a whole number.

iii) True
0 is an integer that is neither positive nor negative. So, the opposite of zero is zero.

iv) False
Since 10 is greater than 6, -10 is smaller than -6.

v) True
This is because an absolute value is a positive number. For example, -2 is an integer, but its absolute value is 2 and it is greater than -2.

vi) True
This is because all negative integers are to the left of 0.

vii) True
This is because natural numbers are positive and every positive integer is greater than every negative integer.

viii) False
This is because the successor of -187 is equal to -186 (-186 + 1). In succession, we move from the left to the right along a number line.

ix) False
This is because the predecessor of -215 is -216 (-216 - 1). To find the predecessor, we move from the right to the left along a number line.

Answer:

i)
206   +98108  Since we are adding a negative number with a positive number,we shall subtract the smaller number, i.e. 98  from the greater number, i.e. 206206 - 98 = 108        Since the greater number is negative, the sign of the result will be negative. So, the answer will be -108

ii) 
     178     -69  109  
Since we are adding a negative number with a positive number,we shall subtract the smaller number, i.e. 69, from the greater number, i.e. 178178 - 69 = 109     Since the greater number is positive, the sign of the result will be positive.    So, the answer will be 109

(iii) 

       312    -103  209   
Since we are adding a negative number with a positive number,
we shall subtract the smaller number, i.e. -103, from the greater number, i.e. 312
312 - 103 = 209
Since the greater number is positive, the sign of the result will be positive.
So, the answer will be 209

(iv) 493+289204


Since we are adding a negative number with a positive number,
we shall subtract the smaller number, i.e. 289, from the greater number, i.e. 493.
493 - 289 = 204
Since the greater number is negative, the sign of the result will be negative.
So, the answer will be -204

Answer:

Let the distance covered in the direction of north be positive and that in the direction of south be negative.

Distance travelled to the north of Patna = 60 km
Distance travelled to the south of Patna = -90 km
Total distance travelled by the car = 60 + (​-90)
                                                   = -30 km
The car was 30 km south of Patna.

Answer:

Total cost price  = Price of pencils + Price of pens
                         = 30 + 90 + 25
                         = Rs 145

Total amount sold = Price of pen + Price of pencils
                           = 20 + 70
                           = 90
Selling price - costing price = 90 - 145
                                          = -55 
The negative sign implies loss.
Hence, his net loss was Rs 55.

Let us consider the height above the sea level as positive and that below the sea level as negative.
Height of point A from sea level = 5700 m

Answer:

Initial temperature of Srinagar at 6 p.m. = 1°C
Final temperature of Srinagar at midnight = −4°C
Change in temperature = Final temperature - Initial temperature
                                      ​= (−4 − 1)°C
                                      = −5°C
So, the temperature has changed by −5°C.
The negative sign indicates that the temperature has fallen.
So, the temperature has fallen by 5°C.

Answer:

(i) (–9) × 6 + (–9) × 4
Solution:
Using the distributive law:
(–9) × 6 + (–9) × 4
= (–9) × (6+9)
= (–9) × 10
= –90

(ii) 8 × (–12) + 7 × (–12)
Solution:
Using the distributive law:
8 × (–12) + 7 × (–12)
= (–12) × (8+7)
= (–12) × 15
= –180

(iii) 30 × (–22) + 30 × (14)
Solution:
Using the distributive law:
30 × (–22) + 30 × (14)
= 30 × [(–22) + 14]
= 30 × [–22 + 14]
= 30 × (–8)
= –240

(iv) (–15) × (–14) + (–15) × (–6)
Solution:
(–15) × (–14) + (–15) × (–6)
Using the distributive law:
= (–15) × [ (–14) + (–6)]
= (–15) × [–14 – 6]
= (–15) × (–20)
= 300

(v) 43 × (–33) + 43 × (–17)
Solution:
43 × (–33) + 43 × (–17)
Using the distributive law:
= (43 ) × [–(33) + (–17)]
= (43 ) × [–33 – 17]
= 43 × (–50)
= –2150

(vi)  (–36) × (72) + (–36) × 28
Solution
(–36) × (72) + (–36) × 28
Using the distributive law:
 = (–36) × (72 + 28 )
 = (–36) × 100
 = –3600 

(vii) (–27) × (–16) + (–27) × (–14)
Solution:
(–27) × (–16) + (–27) × (–14)
Using the distributive law:
= (–27) × [(–16) + (–14)]
= (–27) × [–16 –14]
= (–27) × [–30]
= 810
