(d) – 50, – 200 and 300
Solutions:
(a) 137 and -354
(137) + (-354) = (137) + (-137) + (-217)
= 0 + (-217) [(137) + (-137) = 0]
= (-217)
= -217
(b) -52 and 52
(-52) + (+52) = 0 [(-a) + (+a) = 0]
(c) -312, 39 and 192
(-312) + (+39) + (+192) = (-231) + (-81) + (+39) + (+192)
= (-231) + (-81) + (+231)
= (-231) + (+231) + (-81)
= 0 + (-81) [(-a) + (+a) = 0]
= -81
(d) -50, -200 and 300
(-50) + (-200) + (+300) = (-50) + (-200) + (+200) + (+100)
= (-50) + 0 + (+100) [(-a) + (+a) = 0]
= (-50) + (+100)
= (-50) + (+50) + (+50)
= 0 + (+50) [(-a) + (+a) = 0]
= 50
5. Find the sum.

= (-7) + (+7) + (-9) + (+9) + 4
= 0 + 0 + 4 [(-a) + (+a) = 0]
= 4
(b) (37) + (-2) + (-65) + (-8)
= (+37) + (-75)
= (+37) + (-37) + (-38)
= 0 + (-38) [(-a) + (+a) = 0]
= -38

= 35 – 20
= 15
(b) 72 – (90)
= 72 – 90
= -18
(c) (-15) – (-18)
= -15 + 18
= 3
(d) (-20) – (13)
= -20 – 13
= -33

2. Fill in the blanks with >, < or = sign.
(a) (–3) + (–6) ______ (–3) – (–6)
(b) (–21) – (–10) _____ (–31) + (–11)
(c) 45 – (– 11) ______ 57 + (– 4)
(d) (–25) – (–42) _____ (– 42) – (–25)
Solutions:
(a) (-3) + (-6) = -9
(-3) – (-6) = -3 + 6 = 3
-9 < 3
Therefore, (-3) + (-6) < (-3) – (-6)
(b) -21 – (-10) = -21 + 10 = -11
-31 + (-11) = -42
-11 > -42
Therefore, (-21) – (-10) > (-31) + (-11)
(c) 45 – (-11) = 45 + 11 = 56
57 + (-4) = 57 – 4 = 53
56 > 53
Therefore, 45 – (-11) > 57 + (-4)
(d) (-25) – (-42) = -25 + 42 = 17
-42 – (-25) = -42 + 25 = -17
17 > -17
Therefore, (-25) – (-42) > (-42) – (-25)
3. Fill in the blanks.

(c) (–7) + (–8) + (–90)
(d) 50 – (–40) – (–2)
Solutions:
(a) (-7) – 8 – (-25) = -7 -8 + 25
= -15 + 25
= 10
(b) (-13) + 32 – 8 – 1 = -13 + 32 – 8 – 1
= 32 – 22
= 10
(c) (-7) + (-8) + (-90) = -7 – 8 – 90
= – 105
(d) 50 – (-40) – (-2) = 50 + 40 + 2
= 92
