Question 3.
Find the value of the following.
(i) -3 – (-4) using number line.
Solution:
We start at zero facing positive direction. Move 3 units backward to represent (-3). Then turn towards the negative side and move 4 units backwards. We reach+1.

We start at zero facing positive direction. Move 7 units forward to represent (+7). Then turn towards the negative side and move 10 units backwards.
We reach +17
∴ 1 – (-10) = +17

(iii) 35 – (-64)
Solution:
35 – (-64) = 35+ (Additive inverse of-64) = 35 + (+64) = 99
∴ 35 – (-64) = 99

(iv) -200 – (+100)
Solution:
-200 – (+100) = -200 + (Additive inverse of+100) = -200 + (-100) = -300
-200 – (+100) = -300

Question 4.
Kabilan was having 10 pencils with him. He gave 2 pencils to senthil and 3 to Karthick. Next day his father gave him 6 more pencils, from that he gave 8 to his sister. How many pencils are left with him?
Solution:
Total pencils Kabilan had = 10
No. of pencils given to Senthil = 2
No. of pencils given to Karthick = 3.
Now number of pencils left with Kabilan = 10 – 2 – 3 = 8 – 3 = 5
Number of pencils got from his father = 6
No. total pencils Kabilan had = 5 + 6 = 11
Number of pencils given to his sister = 8
Number of pencils left with Kabilan = 11 – 8 = 3

Question 5.
A lift is on the ground floor. If it goes 5 floors down and then moves up to 10 floors from there, then in which floor will the lift be?
Solution:
Initially the lift will be in the ground floor representing ‘0’
It goes to 5 floors down ⇒ -5
Then it moves 10 floors up +10.
Now the lift will be = 0 – 5 + 10 = -5 + 10
= 5th floor (above the ground floor)

Question 6.
When Kala woke up, her body temperature was 102°F. She took medicine for fever. After 2 hours it was 2°F lower. What was her temperature then?
Solution:
Kala’s temperature initially = 102°F
After two hours the temperature decreased = -2°F
Now the final temperature = 102°F – 2°F = 100°F

Question 7.
What number should be added to (-17) to get -19?
Solution:
According to the problem = -17 + A number = -19
The number = -19 + 17 = -2
∴ -2 should be added to -17 to get -19

Question 8.
A student was asked to subtract (-12) from -47. He got -30. Is he correct? Justify.
Solution:
Subtracting -12 from -47, we get
-47 – (-12) = -47 + (Additive inverse of-12)
= -47 + (+12) = -35
But the students answer is -30.
So he is not correct.
