Rules for Adding and Subtracting Integers

Simply substitute the given value for the variable.

$x$ $x$ $=$ $=$ $- 2$ $-2$

$y$ $y$ $=$ $=$ $- 6$ $-6$

$y$ $y$ $-$ $-$ $x$ $x$ $=$ $=$ $- 6$ $-6$ $- ($ $-($ $- 2$ $-2$ $)$ $)$

$=$ $=$ $- 6 + 2$ $-6+2$

Now, we can use the number line to evaluate further.

Start at $- 6$ $-6$ , then since $2$ $2$ is positive move right $2$ $2$ places

$- 6$ $-6$ $+ 2$ $+2$ $=$ $=$

$- 6 + 2$ $-6+2$ $=$ $=$ $- 4$ $-4$

$- 4$ $-4$

Rules for Multiplying Integers

Simply substitute the given value for the variable.

$x$ $x$ $=$ $=$ $- 2$ $-2$

$y$ $y$ $=$ $=$ $- 6$ $-6$

$y$ $y$ $+ 4$ $+4$ $x$ $x$ $=$ $=$ $- 6$ $-6$ $+ 4 ($ $+ 4($ $- 2$ $-2$ $)$ $)$

$=$ $=$ $- 6 - 8$ $-6-8$

Now, we can use the number line to evaluate further.

Start at $- 6$ $-6$ , then subtract $8$ $8$ by moving left $8$ $8$ places

$- 6$ $-6$ $- 8$ $-8$ $=$ $=$

$- 6 - 8$ $-6-8$ $=$ $=$ $- 14$ $-14$

$- 14$ $-14$

Simply substitute the given value for the variable.

$x$ $x$	$=$ $=$	$- 2$ $-2$
$y$ $y$	$=$ $=$	$- 6$ $-6$

$\color{#9a00c7}{x}^2\color{#00880A}{y}^2$	$=$ $=$	$(\color{#9a00c7}{-2})^2\times(\color{#00880A}{-6})^2$

	$=$ $=$	$4 \times 36$ $4xx36$	Negative numbers raised to even exponents become positive

	$=$ $=$	$144$ $144$
