Solution 1:
43 - (70)
= 43 - 70
= -27
Solution 2:
(-31) - (17)
= -31 - 17
= -48
Solution 3:
56 - (-9)
= 56 + 9
= 65
Solution 4:
(-72) - (-81)
= -72 + 81
= 9
Solution 5:
(-100) - (-63)
= -100 + 63
= -37
Solution 6:
0 - (-65)
= 0 + 65
= 65
Solution 7:
(-16) - 9 - (-15)
= -16 - 9 + 15
= -10
Solution 8:
(-26) + (-34) + (-30)
= -26 - 34 - 30
= -90
Solution 9:
68 - (-32) - (-15)
= 68 + 32 + 15
= 115
Solution 10:
(i) (-35) - (+25)
= -35 - 25
= -60
(ii) (-34) - (26)
= -34 + 26
= -8
Solution 11:
Let the other integer be x.
According to question, we have:
x + (-18) = 34
⇒ x = 34 + 18
⇒ x = 52
Thus, the other integer is 52.
Solution 12:
Let the other integer be x.
According to question, we have:
x + 17 = -48
⇒ x = -48 - 17
⇒ x = -65
Thus, the other integer is -65.
Solution 13:
Initial temperature at 6 p.m. = 1°C
Final temperature at midnight = -4°C
Change in temperature = Final temperature - Initial temperature
= (-4) - (1)
= -5°C
So, the temperature has changed -5°C.
The negative sign indicates that the temperature has fallen.
So, the temperature has fallen by 5°C.
Solution 14:
(i) Predecessor of 31 = 31 - 1 = 30
(ii) Predecessor of -31 = -31 - 1 = -32
(iii) Predecessor of -40 = -40 - 1 = -41
(iv) Predecessor of -2 = -2 - 1 = -3
Solution 15:
(i) True
(ii) True
(iii) False
Reason: The given statements is
-14 > {-8 - (-7)}
⇒ -14 > (-8 + 7)
⇒ -14 > -1
which is not true.
(iv) True
Reason: The given statements is {(-5) - 2} > (-8)
⇒ (-5 - 2) > -8
⇒ -7 > -8
which is true
(v) False
Reason: The given statements is
(-7) - 3 = {(-3) - (-7)}
⇒-7 - 3 = -3 + 7
⇒ -10 = 4
which is not true.
Solution 16:
(i) The present year is 2025.
∴ The Year of 180 years ago = 2025 - 180 = 1845
So, it was the year 1845.
(ii) The present year is 2025.
∴ The Year of 2250 years ago = 2025 - 2250
= -225
So, it was the year 225 BCE (Before Common Era.)
