Question 62 Marks
Find 36 - (-64) and (-64) -36. Are they equal?
Answer
36 - (-64) = 36 + 64 = 100
Now, (-64) - 36 = (-64) + (-36) = -100
Here, 100 is not equal -100
Thus, they are not equal.

Question 102 Marks
If a = -8, b = -7, c = 6, verify that (a + b) + c = a + (b + c).
Answer
(a + b) + c = (-8 + (-7)) + 6 = -15 + 6 = -9
a + (b + c) = -8 + (-7 + 6) = -13 + (-1) = -9
Hence, (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) [i.e., Property of Associativity]

Question 192 Marks
By what number should (-240) be divided to obtain 16?
Answer
Suppose that a divides -240 to obtain 16. Then, we have:
(-240) ÷ a = 16
⇒ a = (-240) ÷ 16 = -15
Hence, -15 should divide -240 to obtain 16.

Question 312 Marks
What should be divided by (-7) to obtain 12?
Answer
Let a be divided by (-7) to obtain 12. Then, we have:
a ÷ (-7) = 12
$\text{a}=-\frac{7}{12}$
Hence, $-\frac{7}{12}$ should be divided by -7 to obtain 12.
