What to Focus On
- Integers can be positive, negative, or zero.
- Rightward movement on a number line is positive.
- Leftward movement on a number line is negative.
- Difference means first number minus second number.
- Order matters in subtraction.
- If sum is 25 and difference is 11, the numbers are 18 and 7.
- Try different pairs and check both conditions.
- Always check both sum and difference.
- This method works for positive, negative, and zero values.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Difference is the same as subtraction of the smaller number from the larger number, so the answer is always positive.
A negative number always means a smaller answer, so any subtraction or multiplication with negatives must give a smaller magnitude.
When adding integers on a number line, every movement is always positive if it moves to the right in the picture, even if the sign says negative.
