Let's solve each of these integer operations step by step. We'll use the rules for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing integers.
---
Rules to Remember:
-
Addition:
- Same signs: Add and keep the sign.
- Different signs: Subtract and take the sign of the larger absolute value.
-
Subtraction: Change the sign and add (e.g., $ a - b = a + (-b) $).
-
Multiplication & Division:
- Same signs: Result is
positive.
- Different signs: Result is
negative.

Now, let’s go through each problem:
---
1. $ 6 + (-1) = 5 $
→ $ 6 - 1 = 5 $
2. $ 6 \times (-2) = -12 $
→ Positive × Negative = Negative
3. $ (-3) + (-2) = -5 $
→ Both negative → add and keep negative
4. $ (-25) \div (-5) = 5 $
→ Negative ÷ Negative = Positive
5. $ 12 - (-63) = 12 + 63 = 75 $
→ Subtracting a negative = adding
6. $ (-25) + (-77) = -102 $
→ Add absolute values, keep negative
7. $ (-6) \div (-3) = 2 $
→ Negative ÷ Negative = Positive
8. $ 8 \times 3 = 24 $
→ Positive × Positive = Positive
9. $ (-5) + (-1) = -6 $
→ Both negative → sum is negative
10. $ (-7) - 9 = -7 - 9 = -16 $
→ Think as $ -7 + (-9) $
11. $ (-49) \div (-7) = 7 $
→ Negative ÷ Negative = Positive
12. $ 24 \div (-3) = -8 $
→ Positive ÷ Negative = Negative
13. $ (-6) + 6 = 0 $
→ Opposites cancel out
14. $ (-9) \times (-5) = 45 $
→ Negative × Negative = Positive
15. $ 7 - (-5) = 7 + 5 = 12 $
→ Subtracting a negative = adding
16. $ (-4) \div (-2) = 2 $
→ Negative ÷ Negative = Positive
17. $ (-7) - (-7) = -7 + 7 = 0 $
→ Subtracting same number → zero
18. $ 9 - (-2) = 9 + 2 = 11 $
→ Subtracting a negative = adding
19. $ 7 - (-9) = 7 + 9 = 16 $
20. $ 1 + (-6) = 1 - 6 = -5 $
21. $ 12 \div (-2) = -6 $
→ Positive ÷ Negative = Negative
22. $ 4 \div (-4) = -1 $
23. $ 4 - 4 = 0 $
24. $ 24 \div (-4) = -6 $
25. $ (-15) \div (-3) = 5 $
→ Negative ÷ Negative = Positive
26. $ (-6) + (-9) = -15 $
→ Add absolute values, keep negative
27. $ (-32) \div 4 = -8 $
→ Negative ÷ Positive = Negative
28. $ (-7) \times 7 = -49 $
→ Negative × Positive = Negative
29. $ 8 \times (-7) = -56 $
→ Positive × Negative = Negative
30. $ (-7) + (-9) = -16 $
→ Add absolute values, keep negative
31. $ (-11) - 8 = -11 - 8 = -19 $
→ Think as $ -11 + (-8) $
32. $ 8 \div (-2) = -4 $
→ Positive ÷ Negative = Negative
33. $ 21 - (-3) = 21 + 3 = 24 $
