Adding Integers Now
BEFORE
You added decimals.
WHY?
You’ll add integers.
So you can find a hockey player’s plus-minus rating, as in Ex. 40.

Scuba Diver A scuba diver studying marine life is 4 feet below sea level. From that depth, the diver descends 72 feet to the ocean floor and then rises 61 feet. The diver rests there to avoid decompression illness. Where is the diver relative to sea level? In Example 3, you will see how to answer this question by adding integers. One way to add integers is to use a number line. To add a positive integer, move to the right. To add a negative integer, move to the left. 6

Adding Integers Using a Number Line
Use a number line to find the sum.
a. 3 (9)
Study Strategy In the activity on page 28, you used two arrows to add two integers on a number line. The first arrow started at 0 and ended at the first number in the sum. In Example 1, you see that you can draw only one arrow if you start at the first number in the sum.

Absolute Values You can use absolute values to find the sum of two or more integers.
Adding Integers Words
Numbers
1. Same Sign Add the absolute values
and use the common sign. 2. Different Signs Subtract the lesser
absolute value from the greater absolute value and use the sign of the number with greater absolute value. 3. Opposites The sum of a number and
8 12 20 6 (4) 10 5 (8) 3 11 13 2 7 (7) 0
its opposite is 0. Additive Inverse Property The opposite of a number is also called its additive inverse . Item 3 in the notebook can be written algebraically as a (a) 0 and is called the additive inverse property.
Example 2
Adding Two Integers
a. Find the sum 54 (28). Same sign: Add 54 and 28.
54 (28) 82
Both integers are negative, so the sum is negative.
b. Find the sum 38 (17). Different signs: Subtract 17 from 38.
38 (17) 21
38 > 17, so the sum has the same sign as 38.
Example 3
Adding More Than Two Integers
To answer the question about the position of the scuba diver at the top of page 29, you can find the sum 4 (72) 61. 4 (72) 61 76 61 15
Add 4 and 72. Add 76 and 61.
Answer The sum is 15, so the diver is 15 feet below sea level. Checkpoint Find the sum. 4. 41 26 30

Example 4
Watch Out When you substitute a negative number for a variable, you may have to enclose the number in parentheses, as in part (b) of Example 4, to avoid confusion with an operation sign.
Evaluating Variable Expressions
Evaluate the expression when x 22 and y 12.
a. x (9)
b. x 17 y
Solution
a. x (9) 22 (9) 31
Substitute 22 for x. Add.
b. x 17 y 22 17 (12) 5 (12) 17
Substitute for x and for y. Add 22 and 17. Add 5 and 12.

40. Hockey In the National Hockey League, a player is assigned a positive
point each time his team scores while he is on the ice. He is assigned a negative point each time the opposing team scores while he is on the ice. (No points are assigned if the scoring team has more players on the ice than the other team.) The sum of the positive and negative points is called the player’s plus-minus rating. The table shows the points awarded to a player in two games.
a. Find the player’s plus-minus rating for game 1. b. Find the player’s plus-minus rating for game 2.
