5
-5
-1
Following the order of operations, the multiplication (-3) × 2 is performed before the addition. This gives -6, and then 7 + (-6) equals 1. The problem emphasizes the significance of performing multiplication before addition.
Simplify: (-2)².
2
-4
4
-2
When squaring a negative number, the result is positive because a negative times a negative gives a positive. Here, (-2)² equals 4, demonstrating this exponent rule. It reinforces careful treatment of exponents with negative bases.
Solve: (-10) + 4 × (-3).
-2
2
-22
22
According to the order of operations, multiplication comes first: 4 × (-3) equals -12. Then adding -10 results in -22. This question combines multiplication and addition with negative integers.
Find the result of: (-3) × [2 - (-4) + (-1)].
-9
-15
15
9
First, simplify the expression inside the brackets: 2 - (-4) becomes 2 + 4, which equals 6, and then adding (-1) gives 5. Multiplying -3 by 5 yields -15. This problem combines several operations in one expression.
A submarine descends 20 meters, ascends 8 meters, and then descends another 15 meters. What is its final position relative to the starting point?
7
-7
27
-27
Calculate the net displacement by adding the movements: -20 + 8 equals -12, and then -12 - 15 equals -27. The final position is 27 meters below the starting point. This word problem illustrates how to combine several integer operations.
Solve for x: 2x - 3(-x + 4) = -2.
-2
2
4
-4
First, distribute -3 to get 2x + 3x - 12, which simplifies to 5x - 12. Setting 5x - 12 equal to -2 and solving gives 5x = 10, so x = 2. This problem tests skills in distribution and solving linear equations with integers.
Simplify the expression and evaluate: (-2) × (-3) + 4 ÷ (-2) - (-5).
-3
-9
9
3
First, multiply (-2) and (-3) to get 6, then divide 4 by (-2) to obtain -2. Subtracting a negative (-(-5)) converts to adding 5, so the final result is 6 - 2 + 5 which equals 9.
Evaluate the expression: [(-8 ÷ 2) × (-3)] - [7 - (-4 + 1)].
10
-10
-2
2
Simplify the expression in the first bracket: (-8 ÷ 2) equals -4, and -4 multiplied by (-3) gives 12. In the second bracket, -4 + 1 equals -3, so 7 - (-3) is 10. Subtracting the second bracket from the first gives 12 - 10 = 2.

Integers Quiz: Add, Subtract, Multiply & Divide Cheat Sheet

  1. Understand the Rules for Multiplying Integers - Multiplying integers can feel like a magic trick once you know the secret handshake! Remember that two negatives make a positive, while mixing one positive and one negative always gives you a negative. Master these rules and those pesky -3 × -4 calculations will be a breeze! Multiplying Integers Guide
  2. Master the Rules for Dividing Integers - Division follows the same sign rules as multiplication, so you'll always stay consistent. Positive ÷ positive and negative ÷ negative yield a positive, while mixing signs gives you a negative quotient. Once you've got this down, -12 ÷ -3 = 4 will feel as simple as slicing a pizza! Dividing Integers Rules
  3. Apply the Commutative Property of Multiplication - Swapping the order of your factors doesn't change the product, so a × b = b × a is your new mantra. This means (-2) × 5 and 5 × (-2) both equal -10 - no funny business involved. Embrace this property and watch your homework time shrink! Commutative Property
  4. Understand the Associative Property of Multiplication - Grouping factors differently never changes the result: (a × b) × c = a × (b × c). That means ((-2) × 5) × 3 and (-2) × (5 × 3) both give -30, so you can rearrange at will. Use this flexibility to simplify long chains of multiplication! Associative Property
  5. Learn the Distributive Property - Distribute multiplication over addition: a × (b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c). For example, 2 × (3 + 4) becomes (2 × 3) + (2 × 4) for a total of 14. This trick will let you break down tough problems into bite‑sized chunks! Distributive Property
  6. Recognize the Identity Property of Multiplication - Multiplying any number by 1 leaves it unchanged, so a × 1 = a. This might seem trivial, but spotting the "1" can sometimes simplify a monster expression. Keep an eye out for hidden ones lurking in your equations! Identity Property
  7. Practice with Real‑World Problems - Applying integer operations to everyday scenarios makes them stick in your brain. If a diver descends 25 feet and then another 8 feet, that's -25 + (-8) = -33 feet below the surface - no calculator required! Tackling fun word problems will turn you into an integer‑solving superhero. Real‑World Integer Problems
  8. Use Visual Aids for Addition and Subtraction - Number lines, colored counters, or even sliced pizza diagrams can bring abstract integer rules to life. Seeing +3 and -5 on a line helps you grasp why they combine into -2. Visual strategies are like training wheels for your math brain! Visual Aids
  9. Remember the Rules for Adding and Subtracting Integers - Same-sign adds keep the sign; opposite-sign subtracts the smaller absolute value from the larger. For instance, (-7) + (-2) = -9, while 7 + (-2) = 5. Mastering these rules means no more guesswork on your quizzes! Adding & Subtracting Rules
  10. Practice, Practice, Practice - Consistent drills build confidence faster than cramming the night before. Use worksheets, flashcards, or online quizzes to keep your skills sharp and your mind agile. Remember: every problem you solve is one more step toward integer mastery! Integer Practice Worksheets
