1. Integer Basics and Sum-Difference Puzzles

  • The difference of two numbers means the first number minus the second number.
  • If the sum is 25 and the difference is 11, the numbers are 18 and 7 because 18 + 7 = 25 and 18 - 7 = 11.
  • If the sum is 25 and the difference is -11, the numbers are 7 and 18 because 7 + 18 = 25 and 7 - 18 = -11.
