Vitamins are classified as either fat soluble (vitamins A, D, E and K) or water soluble (vitamins B and C). This difference between the two groups is very important. It determines how each vitamin acts within the body.
Rule 3: Subtracting a negative number from a negative numberâwhen you see the subtraction (minus) sign followed by a negative sign, turn the two signs into a plus sign. Thus, instead of subtracting a negative, you are adding a positive.So, â -5 becomes +5, and continue normally with the addition.ou can also think about these problems as addition problemsâyou add the numbers together (5 + 3 = 8) and then, since both numbers have a minus sign in front of them, you would add a negative sign in front of your answer, like this: -8.
An integer is a whole number that can be either greater than 0, called positive, or less than 0, called negative. Zero is neither positive nor negative. Two integers that are the same distance from the origin in opposite directions are called opposites. The arrows on each end of the number line show us that the line stretches to infinity in both the negative and positive direction. We don't have to include a positive sign (+) when we write positive numbers.
