Let's solve each problem step by step using the rules of
integer addition and subtraction.
Key Rules to Remember:
1.
Adding a negative number is the same as subtracting its positive counterpart:
$ a + (-b) = a - b $
2.
Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding its positive counterpart:
$ a - (-b) = a + b $
3. When adding or subtracting integers:
- If signs are the same, add absolute values and keep the sign.
- If signs are different, subtract smaller absolute value from larger and take the sign of the larger.

Now let’s go through each row:
---
#### Row 1:
- $ 3 + (-8) = 3 - 8 = -5 $
- $ (-9) - (-4) = -9 + 4 = -5 $
- $ 7 - 5 = 2 $
#### Row 2:
- $ 6 - (-4) = 6 + 4 = 10 $
- $ (-4) - (-2) = -4 + 2 = -2 $
- $ (-4) - 10 = -14 $
#### Row 3:
- $ 6 - 5 = 1 $
- $ (-2) - 5 = -7 $
- $ (-2) - 7 = -9 $
#### Row 4:
- $ (-8) + (-2) = -10 $
- $ 8 + 6 = 14 $
- $ (-9) + 10 = 1 $
#### Row 5:
- $ 8 + (-10) = 8 - 10 = -2 $
- $ 2 - (-10) = 2 + 10 = 12 $
- $ 8 - 5 = 3 $
#### Row 6:
- $ 8 - (-2) = 8 + 2 = 10 $
- $ 1 - (-7) = 1 + 7 = 8 $
- $ 4 + 2 = 6 $
#### Row 7:
- $ (-2) + 6 = 4 $
- $ (-4) - 4 = -8 $
- $ 9 - (-7) = 9 + 7 = 16 $
#### Row 8:
- $ (-1) - 0 = -1 $
- $ 7 - 5 = 2 $
- $ (-5) + (-10) = -15 $
#### Row 9:
- $ (-1) - (-2) = -1 + 2 = 1 $
- $ (-5) - (-6) = -5 + 6 = 1 $
- $ 9 - (-9) = 9 + 9 = 18 $
#### Row 10:
- $ 7 - 4 = 3 $
- $ (-2) + 5 = 3 $
- $ (-4) - (-10) = -4 + 10 = 6 $
#### Row 11:
- $ 8 - (-2) = 8 + 2 = 10 $
- $ (-6) + 2 = -4 $
- $ 4 + 1 = 5 $
