Introduction to Subtracting Integers
Do you ever compare the weather where you are with the weather where your friends or family members live? Imagine that it's winter, and you call your parents in Chicago from your house in Los Angeles, where the temperature is [latex]65[/latex] degrees. They tell you that the temperature in Chicago, where you grew up, is [latex]-2[/latex] degrees. What's the difference in temperature between the two cities? To find out, you'll need to subtract integers, which you'll learn how to do in this section.Learning Outcomes
By the end of this section, you will be able to:- Model subtraction of integers
- Simplify expressions with integers
- Evaluate variable expressions with integers
- Translate words phrases to algebraic expressions
- Subtract integers in applications
