Question 1.
Write the following integers in ascending order: -5,0,2,4, -6,10, -10
Solution:
Plotting the points on the number line, we get
The numbers are placed in an increasing order from left to right.
∴ Ascending order: -10 < -6 < -5 < 0 < 2 < 4 < 10
Question 2.
If the integers -15, 12, -17, 5, -1, -5, 6 are marked on the number line then the integer on the extreme left is _____ .
Solution:
The least number will be on the extreme left.
∴ -17 will be on the extreme left.
Question 3.
Complete the following pattern:
50, ___ 30, 20, _, 0, -10, _, _, -40, _, ___.
Solution:
The difference between the consecutive number is 10.
50, 40, 30,20, 10, 0, -10, -20, -30, -40, -50, -60
Question 4.
Compare the given numbers and write “<”, “>” or in the boxes.
Solution:
(a) 
A positive number is greater than a negative number.
(b) 
1000,0 is less than all positive integers.
(c) 
Question 5.
Write the given integers in descending order, -27, 19, 0, 12, -4, -22, 47, 3, -9, -35.
Solution:
Separating positive and the negative integers, we get -27, -4, -22, -9, -35
Arranging the numbers in descending order -4 > -9 > -22 > -27 > -35
The positive numbers are 19,12,47, 3
Arranging in descending order, we get 47 > 19 > 12 > 3
0 stands in the middle.
∴ Descending order: 47 > 19 > 12 > 3 > 0 > -4 > -9 > -22 > -27 > -35

Question 1.
Find the value of the following using the number line activity.
(i) (-4) + (+3)
(ii) (-4) + (-3)
(iii) (+4) + (-3)
Solution:
(i) (-4) + (+3)
To find the sum of (-4) and (+3), we start at zero facing positive direction continuing in the same direction and move 4 units backward to represent (-4).
Since the operation is addition we maintain the same direction and move three units forward to represent (+3)
We land at -1
So (-4) + (+3) = -1
(ii) (-4) + (-3)
From zero move 4 steps backward to represent (-4)
From the same direction again move 3 units backward to represent (-3)
We land at -7 So (-4) + (-3) = -7
(iii) (+4) + (-3)
We start at zero facing positive direction and move 4 steps forward to represent (+4) Since the operation is addition we maintain the same direction and move three units backward to represent (-3).
We land at +1.
So (+4) + (-3) = +1

Question 1.
Fill in the blanks:
(i) 20 + (-11) = -(11)+ 20 [∵ Addition is commutative]
(ii) (-5) + (-8) = (-8) + (-5) [∵ Addition is commutative]
(iii) (-3) +12 =12 + (-3) [∵ Addition is commutative]
Question 2.
Say True or False.
(i) (-11) + (-8) = (-8) + (-11)
(ii) -7 + 2 = 2 + (-7)
(iii) (-33) + 8 = 8 + (-33)
Solution:
(i) True, because addition is commutative for intergers
(ii) True, by commutative property on intergers
(iii) True, by commutative property on intergers
Question 3.
Verify the following.
(i) [(-2) + (-9)] + 6 = (-2) + [(-9) + 6]
(ii) [7 + (-8)] + (-5) = 7 + [(-8) + (-5)]
(iii) [(-11) + 5]+ (-14) = (-11) + [5 + (-14)]
(iv) (-5) + [(-32) +(-2)] = [(-5) + (-32) + (-2)]
Solution:
(i) [(-2) + (-9)] + 6 = (-2) + [(-9) + 6]
[(-2) + (-9)] + 6 = (-11) + 6 = -5
Also (-2) + [(-9) + 6] = (-2) + (-3) = -5
Both the cases the sum is -5.
∴ – [(-2) + (-9)] + 6 = (-2) + [(-9) + 6]
(ii) [7 + (-8)] +(-5) = 7 + [(-8) + (-5)]
Here [7 + (-8)] + (-5) = (-1) + (-5) = -6
Also 7 + [(-8) + (-5)] = 7 + (-13) = 7 – 13 = -6
In both the cases the sum is -6.
∴ [7 + (-8)] + (-5) = 7 + [(-8) + (-5)]
(iii) [(-11) + 5] + (-14) = (-11) + [5 + (-14)]
Here [(-11) + 5] + (-14) = (-6) + (-14) = (-20)
(-11) + [5 + (-14)] = (-11) +(-9) = (-20)
In both the cases the sum is -20.
∴ [(-11) + 5] + (-14) = (-11) + [5 + (-14)]
(iv) (-5) + [(-32) + (-2)] = [(-5) + (-32)] + (-2)
(-5) + [(-32) + (-2)] = (-5) + (-34) = -39
Also [(-5) + (-32)] + (-2) = (-37) + (-2) = -39
In both the cases the sum is -39.
∴ (-5)+ [(-32) +(-2)] = [(-5)+ (-32)] +(-2)
Question 4.
Find the missing integers:
(i) 0 + (-95) = -95
(ii) -611 + 0 = -611
(iii) ____ + 0 = _____ Any integer; the same integer
(iv) 0 + (-140) = -140
Question 5.
Complete the following:
(i) -603 + 603 = 0
(ii) 9847+ (-9847) = 0
(iii) 1652 + (-1652) = 0
(iv) -777 + 777 = 0
(v) –5281 +5281 = 0
Exercise 1.2
Subtraction of Integers
(Try These Text book Page No. 11)
Question 1.
Do the following by using number line.
(i) (-4) – (+3)
Solution:
We start at zero facing positive direction move 4 units backward to represent (-4). Then turn towards negative side and move 3 units forward.
We reach -7.
∴ (-4) – (+3) = -7.
(ii) (-4) – (-3)
Solution:
We start at zero facing positive direction. Move 4 units backward to represent -4. Then turn towards the negative side and move 3 units backwards.
We reach at-1.
∴ (-4) – (-3) = -1.
Question 2.
Find the values and compare the answers.
(i) (-6) – (-2) and (-6) + 2
Solution:
(-6) – (-2) = -6 + (Additive inverse of-2)
= -6 + (+2) = -4
Also (-6)+ 2 = -4
∴ (-6) – (-2) = (-6) + 2
(ii) 35 – (-7) and 35 + 7.
Solution:
35 – (-7) = 35 + (Additive inverse of -7) = 35 + (+7) = 42
Also 35 + 7 = 42 ; 35 – (-7) =35 + 7
(iii) 26 – (+10) and 26 + (-10)
Solution:
26 – (+10) = 26 + (Additive inverse of +10) = 26 + (-10) = 16
Also 26 + (-10) = 16; 26 – (+10) = 26 + (-10)
Question 3.
Put the suitable symbol <, > or = in the boxes.
Solution:
(i) -10 – 8 = -18 & -10 + 8 = – 2
(ii) (-20) + 10 = -10 & (-20) – (-10) = -10
(iii) -70 – 50 = (-70) + (-50) = -20
(iv) 100 – (+100) = 0 & 100 – (-100) = 100 + (+100) = 200
(v) -50 – 30 = -50 + (-30) = -80 Also -100 + 20 = – 80

Question 1.
Fill in the blanks.
(i) (-7) – (-15) = +8
-7 – (-15) = -7 + (Additive inverse of-15)
= -7 + 15 = +8
(ii) 12 – (-7) = 19 12 – (-7) = 19
(iii) -4 – (-5) = 1
Question 2.
Find the values and compare the answers.
(i) 15 – 12 and 12 – 15
(ii) -21 – 32 and -32 – (-21)
Solution:
(i) 15 – 12 = 3 & 12-15 = 12 +(-15) = -3
(ii) -21 – 32 = (-21) + (-32) = -53
Also -32 – (-21) = (-32) + (+21) = -11 ; -53 < -11
Question 3.
Is associative property true for subtraction of integers. Take any three examples and check.
Solution:
Consider the numbers 1,2 and 3. Now (1 – 2) – 3 = -1 – 3 = -4
Also 1 – (2 – 3) = 1 – (-1) = 1 + 1 = 2
∴ (1 – 2) – ≠ 1 – (2 – 3)
∴ Associative property is not true for subtraction of integers.

Question 1.
Find the product of the following
(i) (-20) × (-45) = +900 [As we know the product of two negative integers is positive, the answer is +900.]
(ii) (-9) × (-8) = 72 [ ∵ Product of two negative integers is positive]
(iii) (-30) × 40 × (-1) = (+1200) [Product of two integers with opposite sings is negative integer.
(-30) × 40 × (-1) = (-1200) × (-1) = +1200)]
(iv) (-50) × 2 × (-10) = -1000 [Product of two integers with opposite signs is negative.
(+50) × 2 × (-10) = 100 × (-10) = -1000)]

(iii) and (iv) are incorrect because 2512 – 1252 is a positive integer.
Also (+1981) × (+2000) is a positive integer.

Question 1.
Find the product and check for equality
(i) 18 × (-5) and (-5) × 18
Solution:
Here 18 × (-5) = -90 Also (-5) × 18 = -90
∴ 18 × (-5)= (-5) × 18
(ii) 31 × (-6) and (-6) × 31
Solution:
Here 31 × (-6) = -186 Also (-6) × 31 =-186
∴ 31 × (-6)= (-6) × 31
(iii) 4 × 51 and 51 × 4
Solution:
Here 4 × 51 = 204 Also 51 × 4 = 204
∴ 4 × 51 = 51 × 4
Question 2.
Prove the following.
(i) (-20) × (13 × 4) = [(-20) × 13] × 4
Solution:
LHS = (-20) × (13 × 4) = (-20) × 52 = -1040
RHS = [(-20) × 13] × 4 = (-260) × 4 = -1040
LHS = RHS
∴ (-20) × (13 × 4) = [(-20) × 13] × 4
(ii) [(-50) × (-2)] × (-3) = (-50) × [(-2) × (-3)]
Solution:
LHS = [(-50) × (-2)] × (-3) = 100 × (-3) = -300
RHS = (-50) × [(-2) × (-3)] = (-50) × 6 =-300
LHS = RHS
∴ [(-50) × (-2)] × (-3) = (-50) × [-2) × (-3)]
(iii) [(-4) × (-3)] × (-5) = (-4) × [(-3) × (-5)]
Solution:
LHS = [(-4) × (-3)] × (-5) = 12 × (-5) = -60
RHS = (-4) × [(-3) × (-5)] = (-4) × 15 = -60

Question 1.
Find the values of the following and check for equality:
(i) (-6) × (4 + (-5)) and ((-6) × 4) + ((-6) × (-5))
Solution:
(-6) × (4 + (-5)) = (-6) × (-1) = 6 .
((-6) × 4) + ((-6) × (-5)) = (-24)+ 30 = 6
Hence (-6) × (4 + (-5)) = ((-6) × 4) + ((-6) × (-5))
(ii) (-3) × [2 + (-8)] and [(-3) × 2] + [(-3) × 8]
Solution:
(-3) × [2 + (-8)] = (-3) × (-6) = 18
Also [(-3) × 2] + [(-3) × 8] = (-6)+ (-24) = -30
(-3) × [2 + (-8)] ≠ [(-3) × 2] + [(-3) × 8]
Question 2.
Prove the following.
(i) [(-5) × (-76)] + [(-5) × 8]
Solution:
LHS = (-5) × [(-76) + 8] = (-5) × (-68)
= +340
RHS = [(-5) × (-76)] + [(-5) × 8]
= +380 + (-40) = +380 – 40
= +340
LHS = RHS
∴ (-5) × [(-76) + 8] = [(-5) × (-76)] + [(-5) × 8]
(ii) (42 × 7) + [42 × (-3)]
Solution:
LHS = 42 × [7 + (-3)]
= 168
RHS = (42 × 7) + [42 × (-3)] = 294 – 126
= 168
LHS = RHS
∴ 42 × [7 + (-3)] = (42 × 7) + [42 × (-3)]
(iii) [(-3) × (-4)] + [(-3) × (-5)]
Solution:
LHS = (-3) × [(-4) + (-5)] = (-3) × (-9)
= +27
RHS = [(-3) × (-4)] + [(-3) × (-5)] = 12 + 15 = 27
LHS = RHS
∴ (-3) × [(-4) + (-5)] = [(-3) × (-4)] + [(-3) × (-5)]
(iv) 103 × 25 = (100 + 3) × 25 = (100 × 25) + (3 × 25)
Solution:
First consider 103 × 25 = 2575
Now (100 + 3) × 25 = 103 × 25 = 2575
Also (100 × 25) + (3 × 25) = 2500 + 75
= 2575
∴ All the three are same. 103 × 25 = (100 + 3) × 25 = (100 × 25) +(3 × 25)
