The first player to reach 36 is the winner.
Addition and subtraction are two primary operations performed between two or more integers to increase or decrease their values.
Tadeo and Magdalena bought the mystery box by combining their monthly allowances. Tadeo paid $10 out of the total cost of the box and Magdalena paid only $6.
Tadeo and Magdalena take a break from unpacking the box. They are now deciding whether to play soccer or stay in the house to watch a movie in the afternoon. The kids agree that they will stay inside if the weather is colder than 62∘F (degrees Fahrenheit) in the afternoon. The current temperature is 67∘F.
Cool down
suggests a subtraction. Subtract 9 from 67 to find the expected temperature for the afternoon.
Cool downimplies subtraction — in other words, subtracting 9 degrees from the current temperature will give the temperature for later in the afternoon.
Magdalena and Tadeo spend the rest of the day watching a fantastic movie together. The movie is about a dolphin stuck in a net in the ocean. The siblings are intrigued because the main character, a kid like them, wants to save the dolphin. The kid swims 10 feet below sea level, but the dolphin is 7 feet deeper.
The siblings want to figure out how deep the dolphin is below the surface. Help them find the answer.Start by representing the main character's depth as a negative value. The seven feet further down to reach the dolphin is also negative. When adding a negative integer to another integer, change the addition sign to a subtraction sign and the negative integer added to its opposite.
Oh no! Magdalena and Tadeo were distracted by the movie and did not notice that Luna, the family pet, escaped. They must find Luna before their parents get home.
Tadeo and Magdalena live in a third-floor apartment. They decide start their search in the underground parking structure, which is a common place that Luna goes to. She particularly likes the third floor down of the parking structure, Subbasement 3.
Find the given sum or difference of integer numbers. Consider that adding a negative number is the same as subtracting its opposite. In contrast, subtracting a negative integer is the same as adding its opposite.
In this lesson, how to add and subtract integer numbers was explained. Use this information to find the positions of Tadeo's and Magdalena's pieces on the curious board game that came in the mystery box they bought. Begin by looking at the board game.
In this game, players start at 0 and take turns rolling a die 🎲 to move forward or backward based on the outcome of the roll. The rules for each of these outcomes are shown in the table.

Davontay is trying to solve a magic square where only three numbers are provided.
In this game, players arrange numbers to make the rows, columns, and diagonals add up to the same sum. This sum is called the magic sum. If the magic sum of Davontay square is 3 and he can only use integers between -3 and 5 once, which of the following represents the solution to the magic square?
We know that the sum for each row and each column is 3. Note that in the first row, we have 0 and -2. We can add these two numbers to see how much is needed to get to 3. 0 + ( -2) We have the addition of a negative integer to another integer. We must change the addition sign to a subtraction sign and -2 to its opposite 2. 0 + ( -2) ⇕ 0 - 2=-2 We must discover how much we add to -2 to get 3. We start counting from -2 on a number line until we reach 3.
We need to add 5 to -2 to get 3. We can write this number in the magic square to complete the first row.
We can now follow a similar process to find the missing number in the second column. Let's first add 5 and -3. 5 + ( -3) ⇕ 5 - 3=2 The number 2 is only 1 unit behind 3. This means the missing number in this column is 1.
Now, note that the diagonal formed with the top-left square and the bottom-right square has only one missing number. The sum of 0 and 1 is 1, two units behind 3. We can complete this diagonal by filling the bottom-left square with the number 2.
Next, in the rightest column, we have the sum of -2 and 2, which is 0 because they are opposite. We need three units to reach 3. This is the number that completes this column.
Let's now find the missing number in the bottom left square. However, we must guarantee that both the diagonal across this square and the row add to 3. Let's find the sum of this diagonal and this row. -2+1=-1 -3+2=-1 Both sums equal -1. This means that we need four units to get to 0. We can complete the bottom-left square with 4.
The only number available to complete the magic square is -1. Let's ensure that the corresponding row and column of the missing cell add to 3 when filling it with the number -1. 0+4+(-1)=3 -1+1+3=3 The magic square is now completed.
