1. -3
Start at -4 on a number line. Move 1 right. You land on -3.
2. -12
Subtracting 4 is the same as adding -4. -8 + (-4) = -12
3. -16
Start at -9 on a number line. Move 7 left. You land on -16.
4. -2
Subtracting 7 is the same as adding -7. 5 + (-7) = -2
5. -26
Subtracting 15 is the same as adding -15. -11 + (-15) = -26
6. -16
Multiply the sizes: 16 × 1 = 16. Same signs give positive, different signs give negative. Answer: -16
7. 90
Multiply the sizes: 6 × 15 = 90. Same signs give positive, different signs give negative. Answer: 90
8. -5
Start at -13 on a number line. Move 8 right. You land on -5.
9. 5
Subtracting (-24) is the same as adding 24. -19 + 24 = 5
10. 18
Subtracting (-30) is the same as adding 30. -12 + 30 = 18
11. -350
Multiply the sizes: 25 × 14 = 350. Same signs give positive, different signs give negative. Answer: -350
12. -56
Start at -29 on a number line. Move 27 left. You land on -56.
Worked examples
-6 − (-9) = ?
- Subtracting (-9) is the same as adding 9.

- Answer: 3
-10 × (-14) = ?
- Multiply the sizes: 10 × 14 = 140.
- Same signs give positive, different signs give negative.
- Answer: 140
- Answer: 140
29 × 18 = ?
- Multiply the sizes: 29 × 18 = 522.
- Same signs give positive, different signs give negative.
- Answer: 522
- Answer: 522
