Question

name the opposite integers: 5, 8, 11 ,- 9 ,- 4,- 7 what integer is less one less than: 0 ,- 2, 14, - 4 and 9.​

Answer 1

Hi, there!

__________

To find a number's opposite integer, you should change it's sign:

`\begin{gathered} \bigstar\\\boldsymbol{Integer:5}\\\boldsymbol{Opposite\:integer:-5}\\\boldsymbol{Integer:8}\\\boldsymbol{Opp.Int:-8}\\\boldsymbol{Integer:11}\\\boldsymbol{Opp.Int;-11}\\\boldsymbol{Integer:-9}\\\boldsymbol{Opp.Int:9}\\\boldsymbol{Integer:4}\\\boldsymbol{Opp.Int:-4}\\\boldsymbol{Integer:-7}\\\boldsymbol{Opp.Int:7}\\\bigstar\end{gathered}`

To find integers less than 1, you just need to subtract 1:

`\begin{gathered}\\\bigstar\\\boldsymbol{Integer:0}\\\boldsymbol{1 \ less \ than \ 0: -1}\\\boldsymbol{Integer:-2}\\\boldsymbol{1 \ less \ than \ -2:-3}\\\boldsymbol{Int.:14}\\\boldsymbol{1 \ less\ than\ 14: 13}\\\boldsymbol{Int.-4}\\\boldsymbol{1\ less\ than\ -4: -5}\\\boldsymbol{Integer:9}\\\boldsymbol{1\ less\ than\ 9: 8}\\\bigstar\end{gathered}`

Hope the answer - and explanation - made sense to you,

happy learning !!
