1.1 INTRODUCTION W e have learnt about whole numbers and integers in Class VI. We know that integers form a bigger collection of numbers which contains whole numbers and negative numbers. What other differences do you find between whole numbers and integers? In this chapter, we will study more about integers, their properties and operations. First of all, we will review and revise what we have done about integers in our previous class. 1.2 RECALL We know how to represent integers on a number line. Some integers are marked on the number line given below . Can you write these marked integers in ascending order? The ascending order of these numbers is – 5, – 1, 3. Why did we choose  – 5 as the smallest number? Some points are marked with integers on the following number line. W rite these integers in descending order. The  descending order of these integers is 14, 8, 3, ... The above number line has only a few integers filled. Write appropriate numbers at each dot.

(v) Correct. Subtraction is opposite of addition and therefore, we add the additive inverse of the integer that is being subtracted, to the other integer. For example: (a) 56 – 73 =  56 + additive inverse of 73 = 56 + (–73) = –17 (b) 56 – (–73) =  56 + additive inverse of (–73) = 56 + 73 = 129 (c) (–79) – 45 = (–79) + (– 45) = –124 (d) (–100) – (–172) = –100 + 172 = 72 etc. Write atleast five such examples to verify this statement. Thus, we find that for any two integers a and b, a – b = a + additive inverse of b = a + (– b) and a – (– b) = a + additive inverse of (– b) = a + b (vi) Incorrect, since (–10) + 3 = –7 and 10 – 3 = 7 therefore, (–10) + 3 ? 10 – 3 (vii) Incorrect, since, 8 + (–7) – (– 4) = 8 + (–7) + 4 = 1 + 4 = 5 and 8 + 7 – 4 = 15 – 4 = 11 However, 8 + (–7) – (– 4) = 8 – 7 + 4 W e have done various patterns with numbers in our previous class.
