What this Adding and Subtracting Positive and Negative Numbers quiz checks
- Opposites add to 0: p + (−p) = 0.
- Same signs: add absolute values and keep the sign. Different signs: subtract and keep the sign of the larger absolute value.
- Subtracting a number is adding its opposite: p − q = p + (−q).
- The distance between p and q is |p − q|.
- The same rules apply to positive and negative decimals and fractions.
