Without a calculator, compute the value of each expression below.  

1. $−14+(−31)$ 

   Hint (a):

   If you drew the tiles, would you have any zero pairs?

   Answer (a):

   $−14+(−31)=-45$

2. $−(−8)−(−2)$ 

   Hint (b):

   Change the subtraction into addition and then try solving using the same method used in part (a).

3. $\frac{-16}{-8}$ 

   Hint 1 (c):

   When dividing or multiplying with negatives, you can do the division ignoring the signs and then account for negatives afterward.

   Hint 2 (c):

   When dividing or multiplying with negative numbers, if there are an even number of negatives then the answer is positive; if there are an odd number of negatives then the answer is also negative.

4. $−11·24$ 

   Hint (d):

   Try ignoring the negative signs to start and multiply as normal. At the end, account for any negative signs in the answer.

   Answer (d):

   $-264$

5. $\frac{1}{2}-\frac{3}{4}$ 

   Hint (e):

   Find a common denominator for the fractions in order to subtract.

6. $46\div(−23)$ 

   Hint (f):

   Remember that since you are dividing a positive number by a negative number, your answer will be negative.
