 -6 -9=-15                                                  when you have double like this -(-  you must remove wich
owe 6 owe 9= owe 15                                                           makes the negative go away and make a
------     ---------                                                                     new mate with the positive


-10+10= 0                                             
owe 10 have 10= 0

Subtracting Integers- To remove what isn't there, you must add a zero pair.

1. -8--8= 

#1: You should never write positive or negative, instead you write either have or owe. If there is a double negative, then you remove and if there is no double negative, you just write "and".

Ex: -8--8(double negative)=

      Owe 8 remove owe 8

#2: the second step is showing your diagram. You can't remove what isn't there and that's where the zero pair comes in. To remove what isn't there, you must add a zero pair.

Ex: -8--8(double negative)= 0

       Owe 8 remove owe 8                                /\

       _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _   _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _   ________|

                                  + + + + + +++

       | _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _|

       |+ + + + + +++|

*Negative 8 is turned into positive 8

2. 3--7(double negative)= +10

    Owe 3 remove owe 7           / \
