When a number is halfway between rounding
numbers, round up.
6Rounding Whole Numbers
- To round to a certain place
- a) Locate the digit in that place.
- b) Consider the next digit to the right.
- c) If the digit to the right is 5 or higher,
round up. If the digit to the right is 4 or
lower, round down. - d) Change all digits to the right of the
rounding location to zeros.
7Example D
- Round 7564 to the nearest hundred.
- Solution
- a) Locate the digit in the hundreds place, 5.
- 7 5 6 4
- b) Consider the next digit to the right, 6.
- 7 5 6 4

10Example F
- Mario and Greta are considering buying a new
computer. There are two models, and each has
options beyond the basic price, as shown below.
Mario and Greta have a budget of 1100. Make a
quick estimate to determine if the XS with a
monitor, memory upgrade to 80 gig and a printer
is within their budget.
11- Solution
- First, we list the base price and then the cost
of each option. We then round each number to the
nearest hundred and add. - XS 595 600
- Monitor 220 200
- Memory 90 100
- Printer 120 100
- 1000
- The price of the computer is within their budget.
12Example G
- Estimate the difference by first rounding to the
nearest thousand 8426 ? 3840.
Solution 8 4 2 6 ? 3 8 4 0
8 0 0 0 ? 4 0 0 0 4 0 0 0
13Objective
- Use lt or gt for to write a true sentence in
a situation like 6 10.
14Order of Whole Numbers
For any whole numbers a and b 1. a lt b (read a
is less than b) is true when a is to the left of
b on the number line. 2. a gt b (read a is
greater than b) is true when a is to the right
of b on the number line. We call lt and gt
inequality symbols.
15Example H
- Use lt or gt for to write a true sentence 84
94.
Solution
Since 84 is to the left of 94 on a number line,
84 lt 94.

27Rules for Order of Operations
1. Do all calculations within parentheses ( ),
brackets , or braces before operations
outside. 2. Evaluate all exponential
expressions. 3. Do all multiplications and
divisions in order from left to right. 4. Do all
additions and subtractions in order from left to
right.
28Example C
- Simplify 24 ? 3 ? 4
- Solution
- There are no parentheses or exponents, so we
start with the third step. - 24 ? 3 ? 4 8 ? 4
- 32
Doing all multiplications and divisions in order
from left to right
29Example D
- Simplify 20 ? 4 ? 3 ? (10 7)
- Solution
- 20 ? 4 ? 3 ? (10 7) 20 ? 4 ? 3 ? 3
- 5 ? 3 ? 3

30Example E
31Objective
- Remove parentheses within parentheses.
32- When parentheses occur within parentheses, we can
make them different shapes, such as (also
called brackets) and (also called
braces). All of these have the same meaning.
When parentheses occur within parentheses,
computations in the innermost ones are to be done
first.

- Evaluate Algebraic Expressions.
-
- Identify Solutions of Equations.
- Translate Phrases into Variable Expressions
39Algebraic Expressions
- An algebraic expression consists of variables,
numerals, and operation signs. - x 38 19 y
- When we replace a variable with a number, we say
that we are substituting for the variable. - This process is called evaluating the expression.
40Evaluate each expression for the given values.
- Example
- a b for
- a 21 and b 74
- Solution
- a b 21 74
- 95
- Example
- 7xy for
- x 3 and y 6
- Solution
- 7xy 7 3 6
- 126
41Example A

- Solution
- We substitute 38 for x and 62 for y.
- x y 38 62 100
42Example B
- Evaluate and for x 72 and y 8.
- Solution
- We substitute 72 for x and 8 for y
43Example C
- Evaluate for C 30.
- Solution
- This expression can be used to find the
Fahrenheit temperature that corresponds to 30
degrees Celsius.
44Translating to Algebraic Expressions
45Example
- Translate each phrase to an algebraic expression.
- a) 9 more than y

- Solution
- Phrase Algebraic Expression
- a) 9 more than y y 9
- b) 7 less than x x ? 7
- c) the product of 3 and twice w 32w or 2w 3
46Translating to Equations
- The symbol (equals) indicates that the
- expressions on either side of the equals
- sign represent the same number.
- An equation is a number sentence with
- the verb .
47Example E
- Translate each phrase to an algebraic expression.
x 8, or 8 x
4x 2, or 2 4x
n 8
ab 5
0.25n
3w 7
48- Solution
- A replacement or substitution that makes an
equation true is called a solution. Some
equations have more than one solution, and some
have no solution. When all solutions have been
found, we have solved the equation.
49Example
- Determine whether 12 is a solution of x 4
16. - Solution
- x 4 16 Writing the equation
- 12 4 16 Substituting 12 for x

- 2.2 Addition of Integers
- 2.3 Subtraction of Integers
- 2.4 Multiplication Division of Integers
- 2.5 Order of Operations
- 2.6 Solving Equations
57Integers and the Number Line
2.1
- State the integer that corresponds to a real
world situation. - Form a true sentence using lt or gt.
- Find the absolute value of any integer.
- Find the opposite of any integer.
58Objective
- State the integer that corresponds to a real
world situation.
59Integers
Integers consist of the whole numbers and their
opposites.
Integers to the left of zero on the number line
are called negative integers and those to the
right of zero are called positive integers. Zero
is neither positive nor negative and serves as
its own opposite.
60Integers
- The integers , ?5, ?4, ?3, ?2, ?1, 0, 1, 2, 3,
4, 5,
61Example A
- Tell which integer corresponds to each situation.
- 1. Death Valley is 282 feet below sea level.
- 2. Margaret owes 312 on her credit card. She
has 520 in her checking account.
Solution
1. 282 below sea level corresponds to ?282.
2. The integers ?312 and 520 correspond to the
situation.
62Common uses for negative integers.
- Time Before an event
- Temperature Degrees below zero
- Money Amount lost, spent, owed, withdrawn
- Elevation Depth below sea level
- Travel Motion in the backward
(reverse) direction
63Objective
- Form a true sentence using lt or gt.
64- Numbers are written in order on the number line,
increasing as we move to the right. For any two
numbers on the line, the one to the left is less
than the one to the right. - The symbol lt means is less than,
- ?4 lt 8 is read ?4 is less than 8.
- The symbol gt means is greater than,
- ?6 gt ?9 is read ?6 is greater than ?9.
65Example B
- Use either lt or gt for to form a true
sentence. - 1. ?7 3 2. 8 ?3 3. ?21 ?9
- Solution
Since ?7 is to the left of 3, we have ?7 lt 3.
Since ?21 is to the left of ?9, we have ? 21 lt ?9.
Since 8 is to the right of ?3, we have 8 gt ?3.
66Objective
- Find the absolute value of any integer.
67Absolute Value
- The absolute value of a number is its distance
from zero on a number line. We use the symbol x
to represent the absolute value of a number x.
68Example C
- Find the absolute value of each number.
- a. ?5 b. 36
- c. 0 d. ?52
- Solution
- a. ?5 The distance of ?5 from 0 is 5, so ?
5 5. - b. 36 The distance of 36 from 0 is 36, so
36 36. - c. 0 The distance of 0 from 0 is 0, so 0
0. - d. ?52 The distance of ?52 from 0 is 52, so
?52 52.
69To find a numbers absolute value 1. If a
number is zero or positive, use the number
itself. 2. If the number is negative, make the
number positive.
70Objective
- Find the opposite of any integer.
71Opposites or Additive Inverses
- Given a number on one side of 0, we can get a
number on the other side by reflecting the number
across zero. For example, the reflection of 4 is
?4.
-6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0
1 2 3 4 5 6
-6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0
1 2 3 4 5 6
72Notation for Opposites
- The opposite of a number x is written ?x (read
the opposite of x).
73Example D
Solution To find the opposite of x when x is ?5,
we reflect ?5 to the other side of 0.
-6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0
1 2 3 4 5 6
-6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0
1 2 3 4 5 6
We have ? (?5) 5. The opposite of ?5 is 5.
74Example E
- Change the sign (find the opposite, or additive
inverse) of each number. - a) ?9 b) 8
- Solution
- a) ?9 ? (?9) 9
- b) 8 ?(8) ?8
75Example F
- Evaluate ? (?x) for x ?7.
- Solution
- We replace x with ?7 and find ?(?(?7)).
- Reflecting ?7 to the other side of 0 and then
back again gives us ?7. Thus, ?(?(?7)) ?7.
76Example G
- Evaluate ??x for x 3.
- Solution
- We have ? ?x ? ?3
- Since ?3 3, it follows that ??3 ?3.

81ADDITION OF INTEGERS
2.2
- Add integers without using a number line.
82Objective
- Add integers without using a number line.
83Adding Integers
- To perform the addition a b, we start at a, and
then move according to b. - a) If b is positive, we move to the right.
- b) If b is negative, we move to the left.
- c) If b is 0, we stay at a.
84Example A
- Add 3 (?6).
- Solution
- 3 (?6) ?3
85Example B
- Add ?5 8.
- Solution
- ?5 8 3
86Adding Negative Integers
- To add two negative integers, add their absolute
values and change the sign (making the answer
negative).
87Example C
- Add.
- 1. ?5 (?8) 2. ?9 (?7)
- Solution
- 1. ?5 (?8) ?13
- 2. ?9 (?7) ?16
Add the absolute values 5 8 13. Make the
answer negative.
88Adding Positive and Negative Integers
- To add a positive integer and a negative integer,
find the difference of their absolute values. - a) If the negative integer has the greater
absolute value, the answer is negative. - b) If the positive integer has the greater
absolute value, the answer is positive.
89Example D
- Add.
- 1. 4 (?6) 2. 12 (?9)
- 3. ?8 5 4. ?7 5
- Solution
- 1. 4 (?6)
- 2. 12 (?9)
- 3. ?8 5
- 4. ?7 5
Think The absolute values are 4 and 6. The
difference is 2. Since the negative number has
the larger absolute value, the answer is
negative, ?2.
?2

90Adding Opposites
- For any integer a,
- a (?a) ?a a 0.
- (The sum of any number and its additive inverse,
or opposite, is 0.)
91Example E
- Add 16 (?2) 8 15 (?6) (?14).
- Solution
- Because of the commutative and associate laws for
addition, we can group the positive numbers
together and the negative numbers together and
add them separately. Then we add the two results. - 16 (?2) 8 15 (?6) (?14)
- 16 8 15 (?2) (?6) (?14)

- Subtract integers and simplify combinations of
additions and subtractions. - Solve applied problems involving addition and
subtraction of integers.
97Objective
- Subtract integers and simplify combinations of
additions and subtractions.
98The Difference a ? b
- The difference a ? b is the number that when
added to b gives a.
99Example A
- Subtract 4 ? 9.
- Solution
- Think 4 ? 9 is the number that when added to 9
gives 4. - What number can we add to 9 to get 4?
- The number must be negative.
- The number is ?5
- 4 9 5.
- That is, 4 ? 9 ?5 because 9 (?5) 4.

112Objective
113Multiplying a Positive and a Negative Number
- Multiplication of integers is like multiplication
of whole numbers. The difference is that we must
determine whether the answer is positive or
negative.
To multiply a positive integer and a negative
integer, multiply their absolute values and make
the answer negative.
114Example A
- Multiply.
- 1. (7)(?9) 2. 40(?1) 3. ?3 ? 7

117To multiply two integers
- a) Multiply the absolute values.
- b) If the signs are the same, the answer is
positive. - c) If the signs are different, the answer is
negative.
118Multiplication by Zero No matter how many times 0
is added to itself, the answer is 0. This leads
to the following result.
- For any integer a,
- a ? 0 0.
- (The product of 0 and any integer is 0.)
119Example C
- Multiply.
- 1. ?24 ? 0 2. 0(?9)
- Solution
- 1. ?24 ? 0
- 2. 0(?9)

Multiplying the first two numbers
Multiplying the results
Each pair of negatives gives a positive product.
122- The product of an even number of negative
integers is positive. - The product of an odd number of negative integers
is negative.
123Powers of Integers
- The result of raising a negative number to a
power is positive or negative, depending on
whether the exponent is odd or even.
124Example E
- Simplify. (?5)4 (?6)5
- Solution
- (?5)4 (?5) (?5) (?5) (?5) 625
- (?6)5 (?6) (?6) (?6) (?6) (?6) ?7776
125- When a negative number is raised to an even
exponent, the result is positive. - When a negative number is raised to an odd
exponent, the result is negative.
126- For any integer a,
- ?1 ? a ?a
127Example F
- Simplify ?102.
- Solution
- Since ?102 lacks parentheses, the base is 10, not
?10. Thus we regard ?102 as ?1 ? 102 - ?102 ?1 ? 102
- ?1 ? 10 ? 10
- ?1 ? 100

- The quotient (or a ? b, or a/b) is the
- number, if there is one, that when multiplied by
b gives a.
135Example A
- Divide, if possible. Check each answer.
- 1. 15 ? (?3) 2.
- Solution
- 1. 15 ? (?3) ?5
- 2.
Think What number multiplied by 3 gives 15? The
number is 5. Check (3)(5) 15.
Think What number multiplied by 5 gives 45? The
number is 9. Check (5)(9) 45.
136- To multiply or divide two integers
- a) Multiply or divide the absolute values.
- b) If the signs are the same, the answer is
positive. - c) If the signs are different, the answer is
negative.
137Excluding Division by 0
- Division by 0 is not defined
- a ? 0, or is undefined for all real numbers
a.
138Dividends of 0
- Zero divided by any nonzero real number is 0
139Example B
- Divide, if possible ?72 ? 0.
- Solution
- is undefined.
Think What number multiplied by 0 gives ?72?
There is no such number because anything times 0
is 0.
140Objective
- Use the rules for order of operations with
integers.
141Rules For Order of Operations
- 1. Do all calculations within parentheses,
brackets, braces, absolute value symbols,
numerators, or denominators. - 2. Evaluate all exponential expressions.
- 3. Do all multiplications and divisions in order
from left to right. - 4. Do all additions and subtractions in order
from left to right.

148SOLVING EQUATIONS
2.8
- Use the addition principle to solve equations.
- Use the division principle to solve equations.
- Decide which principle should be used to solve an
equation. - Solve equations that require the use of both the
addition principle and the division principle.
149Objective
- Use the addition principle to solve equations.
150Equivalent Equations
Equations with the same solutions are called
equivalent equations.
151Example A
- Classify each pair as either equivalent equations
or equivalent expressions - 1. 6x 5 3x 3 3x 8
- 2. x 5 x 3 2
- Solution
- 1. Combining like terms, we have
- 3x 3 3x 8 (3 3)x ( 3 8 )
- 6x 5
- 6x 5 and 3x 3 3x 8 are equivalent
expressions.
152continued example A
- 2. x 5 x 3 2
- If we subtract 3 from both sides of the
equation - x 3 3 2 3
- x 0 5, or
- x 5
- x 5 and x 3 2 are equivalent
equations.
153The Addition Principle
For any numbers a, b, and c, a b is equivalent
to a c b c.
154Example B
- Solve 34 t 12
- Solution
- 34 t 12
- 34 12 t 12 12
- 22 t 0
- 22 t
- The solution is 22.
155Objective
- Use the division principle to solve equations.
156The Division Principle
For any numbers a, b, and c, (c ? 0), a b is
equivalent to
157Example C
- Solve 8x 72
- Solution
- 8x 72
Divide both sides by 8
158Example D
- Solve 56 7y
- Solution
- 56 7y
Divide both sides by 7
159Objective
- Decide which principle should be used to solve
an equation.
160Example E
- Solve.
- 1. 42 4 w 2. 42 3h
- Solution
- 1. 42 4 w
- 42 4 4 4 w
- 46 w
- 2. 42 3h
To undo the addition of 4, we subtract 4 or
simply add 4 to both sides.
Using the division principle
161Objective
- Solve equations that require the use of both the
addition principle and the division principle.
162Example F
- Solve 6a 4 14.
- Solution
- We isolate 6a by adding 4 on both sides.
- 6a 4 4 14 4
- 6a 0 18
- 6a 18
- Now, isolate a by dividing by 6 on both sides.
163Example G
- Solve 47 7x 5.
- Solution
- 47 7x 5
- 47 5 7x 5 5
- 42 7x
Check 47 7(6) 5 47 42 5 47 47 true
