Absolute Values

![Page 5: PEMDAS - The Proper Order of Mathematical Operations](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042706/58a4f4591a28abd8548b6d81/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Absolute ValuesIn a number line, an absolute value means the distance of a number from zero. The direction is not of importance. This means that -3 and +3 have the same absolute value which is 3!
To put it simply, you can think of taking the absolute value of a number by just removing any negative sign in front it.
Examples:
The absolute value of -12 is 12.
The absolute value of -49 is 49.
The absolute value of 17 is of course, 17.www.mongmontances.wordpress.com 5

Absolute ValuesIn taking the absolute value of an expression or any number, we use the symbol “| |” (which looks like a pair of bars).
For illustration, we can rewrite the previous example:
The absolute value of -12 is 12 as | -12 | = 12
Other examples:| -521 | = 521
| 12 -18 | = |-6 | = 6
| 5-2 | = | 3 | = 3

Addition of Signed Numbers

Addition of Signed NumbersWhen you add real numbers with like signs
1. Add their absolute values, and
2. Prefix the common sign.
Examples:
16 + 23 = +39 = 39
(-4) + (-13) + (-5) = - (4+13+5) = -22

Addition of Signed NumbersWhen you add two real numbers with unlike signs
1. Find the difference of their absolute values, and
2. Prefix the sign of the number with bigger magnitude.
Examples:
5 + (-7) = -|5 -7| = -|-2| = -2
-12 + 8 = -4
24 + (-3) = 21

Subtraction of Signed Numbers

Subtraction of Signed NumbersWhen you subtract two signed numbers
1. Change the sign of the subtrahend, and
2. Proceed as in addition of signed numbers.
Examples:
(-7) – (-4) = (-7) + (4) = -3
(13) – (-2) = (13) + (2) = 15
(-18) – ( 12) = -18 + (-12) = -30
(9) – (12) = 9 + (-12) = -3

Tips and TricksHere are some tips and tricks which you can use to speed up your work with addition and subtraction. Let’s take the following examples:
60 − −15 can be simplified right away as 60 + 15.
9 + −3 can be viewed as 9 − 3.
You can look at this as if multiplying the difference operator with the negative number sign.
It then follows that, 5 + 3 can be written as 5 − −3
And 7 − 12 as 7 + (−12)

Multiplication of Signed Numbers

Multiplication of Signed NumbersWhen you multiply two signed numbers
1. Multiply their absolute values.
2. Prefix the correct sign:
The product is positive if the two numbers have the same sign(both + or -). Otherwise, the product is negative.
Examples:
(-7)*(-4) = +(7)*(4) = 28
(2)*(-3) = -(2*3) = -6
(-5)( 13) = -(5)(13) = -65
(8)(7) = 56

Division of Signed Numbers

Division of Signed NumbersWhen you divide two signed numbers
1. Divide their absolute values.
2. Prefix the correct sign:
The quotient is positive if the two numbers have the same sign(both + or -). Otherwise, the quotient is negative.
Examples:
(-36)/(6) = -(36/6) = -6
(72)/(-8) = -(72/8) = -9
(-15)/(-3) = +(15/3) = 5
(8)/(2) = 4

Order of Operations

![Page 19: PEMDAS - The Proper Order of Mathematical Operations](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042706/58a4f4591a28abd8548b6d81/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Order of OperationsWhen simplifying expressions like this:
60 − 15 ÷ (2 − 5) + 7 × 23
The common mistake is to evaluate it right away from left to right.
We need to be aware that expressions like these are handled differently.
We need to understand that there is a proper way of solving or simplifying mathematical expressions. The correct order of operations can be easily remembered using the acronym PEMDAS.

PEMDASPEMDAS is an acronym commonly used to remember the order of operations. It stands for:
Parenthesis | Exponents | Multiplication/Division | Addition/Subtraction
This simply means that the correct order starts by dealing with the Parenthesis. Then evaluating the exponents. Then the Multiplication/Division. Lastly is the Addition/Subtraction.
Note: The Multiplication/Division are of the same priority. Meaning, we will solve whichever appears first (from left to right) in the equation. The same is true for Addition/Subtraction

PEMDASGoing back to the previous example, 60 − 15 ÷ (2 − 5) + 7 × 23
Applying the PEMDAS rule step-by-step:
60 − 15 ÷ (2 − 5) + 7 × 23 Parenthesis
60 − 15 ÷ (−3) + 7 × 23 Exponent
60 − 15 ÷ (−3) + 7 × 8 Division
60 − (−5) + 7 × 8 Multiplication
60 − (−5) + 56 Subtraction
65 + 56 Addition
