Question 22 Marks
Find $(–32) – (–40)$
Answer
$(–32) – (–40)$
$= (–32) + ($additive inverse of $–40)$
$= (–32) + (+40)$
$= (–32) + (+32) + (+8)$
$= 0 + (+8) = 8.$

Question 112 Marks
Write all the integers between $0$ and $-7. ($Write them in the increasing order$.)$
Answer
Clearly,
$– 8 – (– 10) = – 8 + 10$ as additive inverse of $–10$ is $10.$
On the number line, from $– 8$ we will move $10$ steps towards right,

And we reach at $2.$ Thus, $–8 – (–10) = 2$
Hence, to subtract an integer from another integer it is equivalent to adding the additive inverse of the integer that is being subtracted, to the other integer.
