### Eureka Math Grade 7 Module 2 Lesson 4 Example Answer Key

Example 1:
Rule for Adding Integers with Same Signs
a. Represent the sum of 3+5 using arrows on the number line.

3 + 5 = 8

i. How long is the arrow that represents 3?
3 units

b. What direction does it point?
Right/up

iii. How long is the arrow that represents 5?
5 units

iv. What direction does it point?
Right/up

v. What is the sum?
8

vi. If you were to represent the sum using an arrow, how long would the arrow be, and what direction would it point?
The arrow would be 8 units long and point to the right (or up on a vertical number line).

vii. What is the relationship between the arrow representing the number on the number line and the absolute value of the number?
The length of an arrow representing a number is equal to the absolute value of the number.

vii. Do you think that adding two positive numbers will always give you a greater positive number? Why?
Yes, because the absolute values are positive, so the sum will be a greater positive. On a number line, adding them would move you farther away from 0 (to the right or above) on a number line.

From part (a), use the same questions to elicit feedback.
→ In the Integer Game, I would combine -3 and -5 to give me -8.

b. Represent the sum of -3 + (-5) using arrows that represent -3 and -5 on the number line.

-3 + (-5) = -8

i. How long is the arrow that represents -3?
3 units

ii. What direction does it point?
Left/down

iii. How long is the arrow that represents -5?
5 units

iv. What direction does it point?
Left/down

iv. What is the sum?
-8

vi. If you were to represent the sum using an arrow, how long would the arrow be, and what direction would it point?
The arrow would be 8 units long and point to the left (or down on a vertical number line).

vii. Do you think that adding two negative numbers will always give you a smaller negative number? Why?
Yes, because the absolute values of negative numbers are positive, so the sum will be a greater positive. However, the opposite of a greater positive is a smaller negative. On a number line, adding two negative numbers would move you farther away from 0 (to the left or below) on a number line.

c. What do both examples have in common?
The length of the arrow representing the sum of two numbers with the same sign is the same as the sum of the absolute values of both numbers.

The teacher writes the rule for adding integers with the same sign.

RULE: Add rational numbers with the same sign by adding the absolute values and using the common sign.

Example 2.
a. Represent 5 + (-3) using arrows on the number line.

5 + (-3) = 2

i. How long is the arrow that represents 5?
5 units

ii. What direction does it point?
Right/up

iii. How long is the arrow that represents -3?
3 units

iv. What direction does it point?
Left/down

v. Which arrow is longer?
The arrow that is five units long, or the first arrow.

vi. What is the sum? If you were to represent the sum using an arrow, how long would the arrow be, and what direction would it point?
5 + (-3) = 2
The arrow would be 2 units long and point right/up.

b. Represent the 4 + (-7) using arrows on the number line.

4 + (-7) = -3

i. In the two examples above, what is the relationship between the length of the arrow representing the sum and the lengths of the arrows representing the two addends?
The length of the arrow representing the sum is equal to the difference of the absolute values of the lengths of both arrows representing the two addends.

ii. What is the relationship between the direction of the arrow representing the sum and the direction of the arrows representing the two addends?
The direction of the arrow representing the sum has the same direction as the arrow of the addend with the greater absolute value.

iii. Write a rule that will give the length and direction of the arrow representing the sum of two values that have opposite signs.
The length of the arrow of the sum is the difference of the absolute values of the two addends. The direction of the arrow of the sum is the same as the direction of the longer arrow.

The teacher writes the rule for adding integers with opposite signs.

RULE: Add rational numbers with opposite signs by subtracting the absolute values and using the sign of the integer with the greater absolute value

Example 3.
Applying Integer Addition Rules to Rational Numbers
Find the sum of 6 + (-2$$\frac{1}{4}$$). The addition of rational numbers follows the same rules of addition for integers.
a. Find the absolute values of the numbers.
|6| = 6
|-2$$\frac{1}{4}$$| = 2 $$\frac{1}{4}$$

b. Subtract the absolute values.
6 – 2$$\frac{1}{4}$$ = 6 – $$\frac{9}{4}$$ = $$\frac{24}{4}$$ – $$\frac{9}{4}$$ = $$\frac{15}{4}$$ = 3$$\frac{3}{4}$$

c. The answer will take the sign of the number that has the greater absolute value.
Since 6 has the greater absolute value (arrow length), my answer will be positive 3 $$\frac{3}{4}$$ .

Question 1.
Write an addition problem that has a sum of -4 $$\frac{4}{5}$$ and
a. The two addends have the same sign.
Answers will vary. -1 $$\frac{4}{5}$$ + (-3) = -4 $$\frac{4}{5}$$ .

b. The two addends have different signs.
Answers will vary. 1.8 + (-6.6) = -4.8.

Question 2.
In the Integer Game, what card would you need to draw to get a score of 0 if you have a -16, -35, and 18 in your hand?
-16 + (-35) + 18 = -33, so I would need to draw a 33 because 33 is the additive inverse of -33.
-33 + 33 = 0.
