Lesson Representing Absolute
1 Value Of A Number On A
Number Line
What’s In
In your previous lesson, you learned that the subsets of real number can be
represented using a number line wherein zero is the center of a number line. The
numbers having the same distance from 0 on a number line but are in opposite
directions are called opposites. Let’s check your learnings!
1. 10 = 6. -18 =
2.45 = 7. -27 =
3. 50 = 8. -84 =
4. 67 = 9. -90 =
5. 96 = 10. –99 =
What’s New
Some situations can represent integers. Complete the table by giving the
appropriate term.
Situation Negative Zero Positive

What is It
The absolute value of a number is the distance of a number from zero.
Remember distance itself is always positive. The absolute value of a number n is
written as |𝑛|.
8
If x is a positive integer, then the absolute value of x is x.
In symbol: |𝑥| = x, if x > 0
Example:
|7| = 7 since 7 is a positive integer, then
the absolute value of 7 is 7.
If x is equal to zero, then the absolute value of x is x.
In symbol: |𝑥| = x, if x = 0
Example:
|0| = 0 since 0 is equal to 0, then the
absolute value of 0 is 0.
If x is a negative integer, then the absolute value of x is the
opposite of x. In symbol: |−𝑥| = x, if x < 0
Example:
|−10| = 10 since -10 is a negative integer,
then its opposite integer is 10.
In writing the absolute value of a number, just write the numerical part.
The absolute value of 5 is 5, in symbol |5| = 5
The absolute value of -5 is 5, in symbol |−5| = 5
Let’s Illustrate!
Represent the following absolute value of a number on a number line.

What I Can Do
Here is another activity where you can apply what you learned about
representing absolute value of a number on a number line.

A. Write the absolute value that represents the situation.
Example: A gain of 45 m |45| = 45
1. A loss of 5 lb.

4. Php 2, 000 deposit in the bank
5. A profit of Php 50.00
Lesson
Addition of Integers
2
What’s In
In the previous lesson you have learned that the absolute value of a
number is the distance of a number from zero. Let’s check your learning!
You also have learned that integer is a set of numbers consisting zero, the
positive natural numbers and their additive inverses which is the negative
numbers.

What’s New
On the number line, start with point 6 and count 5 units to the
right. At what point on the number line does it stop?
It stops at point 11; hence, 6 + 5 = 11.
What is It
Let’s Try!
1. Combine and
Since the first 4 tiles are positive and the next 5 tiles are also
positive. Therefore they will appe .
In symbol: 4 + 5 = 9
2. Combine and
Since the first 3 tiles are negative and the next 4 tiles are also
negative. Therefore they will appear as
In symbol: (-3) + (-4) = -7
8
3. Combine and
Since the first 5 tiles are positive and the next 3 tiles are
negative. Then the 3 positive tiles and 3 negative tiles will cancel
each other.
Therefore the remaining will appear as
In symbol: 5 + (-3) = 2
Rule 1: When the integers have like signs, add the numbers and
copy the common sign.
Example:
Notice that 8 is positive and 5 is also
1. 8 + 5 = 13
positive, they have like signs. So add 8
and 5 then copy the common positive
sign. Therefore the answer is positive 13
or 13.
Notice that 10 is negative and 9 is also
2. (-10 ) + ( -9 ) = -19 negative, they have like signs. So add 10
and 9 then copy the common negative
sign. Therefore the answer is negative 19
or -19.
Rule 2: When the integers have unlike signs, subtract the numbers and
use the sign of the number with the greater absolute value.
Example:
1. (-2) + 4 = 2 Notice that 2 is negative while 4 is
positive, they have unlike signs. So
subtract 2 from 4 then copy the sign of 4
since it has the greater absolute value.
Therefore the answer is positive 2 or 2.

What’s In
In your previous lesson, you have learned how to add integers. There are rules
you need to follow.
1. When the signs are the same, ADD and keep the sign.
2. When the signs are different, SUBTRACT and use the sign of the
number with the greater absolute value.
Make it a try!

What is It
Now, let us start our discussion starting with the rules in subtracting
integers.
Subtraction Rule
-To subtract two integers, add the opposite or additive inverse of the
subtrahend to the minuend. That is, if a and b are any two integers, then
a – b = a + (-b). Then, follow the rules for addition of integers.

3. 𝟐 − (−𝟒) =
Keep Change Change
4. (−𝟑) − (𝟓) =
Keep Change Change
5. (−𝟓) − (−𝟐) =
Keep Change Change
Solution:
Land that is below sea level is considered to have negative
altitude. Hence, the valley is said to have an altitude of -785 feet. The
difference
3 900 ft.in+altitudes between
785 ft. = 4 685 ft. the mountain and the valley is found
by subtracting -785 ft. from 3 900 ft.

Rules in Multiplying Integers
1. When you multiply two numbers with the same sign, the product is
positive.
(+)(+) = (+) (-)(-) = (+)
2. When you multiply two numbers with different signs, the product is
negative.
(+)(-) = (-) (-)(+) = (-)
3. Any number multiply by 0 gives a product of 0.
(0) (any number) = 0 (any number)(0) = 0
