Question 2.
Make a Prediction Kyle models a sum of two integers. He uses more negative (red) counters than positive (yellow) counters. What do you predict about the sign of the sum? Explain.
The sign of the sum that Kyle models is – (minus).

One positive (yellow) counter and one negative (red) counter form a zero pair, so when you eliminate alt zero pairs, there are some negative (red) counters left.

The sign of the sum that Kyle models is minus, or – because he uses more negative counters.

Question 26.
A football team gained 9 yards on one play and then lost 22 yards on the next. Write a sum of integers to find the overall change in field position. Explain your answer.
You can represent the change in field position by writing the sum:
9 + (- 22)
9 shows gain on one play and adding – 22 shows loss on the next
Now, to find the overall change, subtract lesser absolute value from greater:
|- 22| – |9| = 13
Final result would be 13 or – 13, depending on signs of integers.
Since the number with the greater absolute value is – 22, final result is:
9 + (- 22) = – 13

Gain on one play is represented with positive integer 9 and loss on the next game is represented with negative integer – 22 so the sum is 9 + (- 22).
The overall change in field position after two plays is – 13.

Question 27.
A soccer team is having a car wash. The team spent $55 on supplies. They earned$275, including tips. The team’s profit is the amount the team made after paying for supplies. Write a sum of integers that represents the team’s profit.

– 55 + 275
Find absolute values and subtract lesser absolute value from greater:
|275| – |- 55|= 220
Final result would be 220 or – 220. depending on sighs of given integers.
Since 275 ix integer with greater absolute value, the sum is:

The new balance in Alexa’s account is the sum of:
– 47 + 47
Since 47 is additive inverse of – 47 and the sum of integer and its additive inverse is 0, new balance in her account is:
– 47 + 47 = 0

New balance of Alexa’s account is 0.
A property that is used to find the sum is the Inverse Property of Addition.

Question 30.
Multistep Bart and Sam played a game in which each player earns or loses points in each turn. A player’s total score after two turns is the sum of his points earned or lost. The player with the greater score after two turns wins. Bart earned 123 points and lost 180 points. Sam earned 185 points and lost 255 points. Use a problem-solving model to find which person won the game. Explain.
Bait’s total score is the sum:
123 + (- 180)
To find his score, subtract lesser absolute value from greater:
|- 180| – |123| = 57
Final result would be 57 or – 57, depending on signs of given integers.
Use the sign of number with greater absolute value to find the result:
123 + (- 180) = – 57
Bait’s total score after two turns is – 57 points

Sam’s total score is the sum:
185 + (- 255)
To find his score, subtract lesser absolute value from greater:
|- 255| – |185| = 70
Final result would be 70 or – 70, depending on signs of given integers.
Use the sign of number with greater absolute value to find the result:
185 + (- 255) = – 70
Sam’s total score after two turns is – 70 points.

Since both Bart and Sam have negative score after two turns, winner is the player who lost less points.
Bart lost 5 points and Sam lost 70 points so Bart won the game.

H.O.T. FOCUS ON HIGHER ORDER THINKING

Question 31.
Critical Thinking Explain how you could use a number line to show that – 4 + 3 and 3 + (- 4) have the same value. Which property of addition states that these sums are equivalent?
Use number line to represent sums:
– 4 + 3 and 3 + (- 4)
First graph number line with units.

To find second sum, start at 3 and move 4 units to the left to represent adding – 4 (red arrow).
Read both sums from number line
The Commutative Property states that these sums are equivalent

Number line:

First sum is -1 because it is 1 unit left from 0 on the number line.
Second sum is -1 because it is 1 unit left from 0 on the number line.

Question 32.
Represent Real-World Problems Jim is standing beside a pool. He drops a weight from 4 feet above the surface of the water in the pool. The weight travels a total distance of 12 feet down before landing on the bottom of the pool. Explain how you can write a sum of integers to find the depth of the water.
Jim drops a weight from 4 feet above the surface and it travels 12 feet down until landing on the bottom so the sum that represents the depth of the water is:
4 + (- 12)
To calculate the sum, subtract lesser absolute value from greater:
|- 12| – |4| = 8
Result would be 8 or – 8, depending on signs of given integers
Use the sign of number with greater absolute value to find result:
4 + (- 12) = – 8
Since you want to find the depth of the water, use the absolute value of the result because the depth of the water is positive number. The depth of the water is 8 feet.

Sum that represents the depth is 4 + (-12).
The absolute value of this sum is the depth of the water and that would be 8 feet

Question 33.
Communicate Mathematical Ideas Use counters to model two integers with different signs whose sum is positive. Explain how you know the sum is positive.
Yellow counters represent positive integer and red counters represent negative integer.
To model positive sum of two integers with different sign, take some yellow and some red counters and let there be more yellow counters.
Form and eliminate zero pairs.
When you remove zero pairs, there are some yellow counters left so the sum is positive.

For example:

There are more yellow than red counters When you remove zero pairs, there would be some yellow counters left so the sum is positive.

Question 34.
Analyze Relationships You know that the sum of – 5 and another integer is a positive integer. What can you conclude about the sign of the other integer? What can you conclude about the value of the other integer? Explain.
