7. Determine the integer whose product with ‘-1’ is:

(i) -47
(ii) 63
(iii) -1

Solution:

(i) -47 = - 1 × 47
Therefore, the integer is 47.
 Selina Solutions Concise Maths Class 7 Chapter 1 -
Integers

(ii) 63 = - 1 × - 63
Therefore, the integer is – 63.

(iii) -1 = - 1 × 1
Therefore, the integer is 1.

(iv) 0 = -1 × 0
Therefore, the integer is 0.

8. Eighteen integers are multiplied together. What will be the sign of their product, if:
(i) 15 of them are negative and 3 are positive?
(ii) 12 of them are negative and 6 are positive?
(iii) 9 of them are positive and the remaining are negative?
(iv) all are negative?
Solution:

(i) Out of 18 integers, 15 of them are negative which is odd number. Therefore, the sign of product is negative.

(ii) Out of 18 integers, 12 of them are negative which is even number. Therefore, the sign of product is positive.

(iii) Out of 18 integers, 9 of them are negative which is odd number. Therefore, the sign of product is negative.

(iv) All are negative which is even number. Therefore, sign of product is positive.

9. Find which is greater?

(i) (8 + 10) × 15 or 8 + 10 × 15
(ii) 12 × (6 – 8) or 12 × 6 – 8
(iii) {(-3) – 4} × (-5) or (-3) – 4 × (-5)
Solution:

(i) (8 + 10) × 15 or 8 + 10 × 15
We know that
(8 + 10) × 15 = 18 × 15 = 270
8 + 10 × 15 = 8 + 150 = 158
Therefore, (8 + 10) × 15 > 8 + 10 × 15.

(ii) 12 × (6 – 8) or 12 × 6 – 8
We know that
12 × (6 – 8) = 12 (-2) = - 24
12 × 6 – 8 = 72 – 8 = 64
Therefore, 12 × (6 – 8) > 12 × 6 – 8.

(iii) {(-3) – 4} × (-5) or (-3) – 4 × (-5)

We know that
{(-3) – 4} × (-5) = {- 3 – 4} × (-5)
By further calculation
= - 7 × -5 = 35
Similarly
(-3) – 4 × (-5) = - 3 + 20 = 17
Therefore, {(-3) – 4} × (-5) > (-3) – 4 × (-5)

10. State, true or false:

(i) product of two different integers can be zero.
(ii) product of 120 negative integers and 121 positive integers is negative.
(iii) a × (b + c) = a × b + c
(iv) (b – c) × a = b – c × a.
Solution:

(i) True.
Example: 5 × 0 = 0, 0 × - 8 = 0

(ii) False. Here 120 integers are even numbers so the product will be positive and for 121 integers are positive in
numbers. So the product is positive.

(iii) False.
a × (b + c) ≠ a × b + c
ab + ac ≠ ab + c

(iv) False.
(b – c) × a ≠ b – c × a
ab – ac ≠ b – ca

Other integer = - 15 - 9
Taking negative sign as common
= - (15 + 9)
= - 24

2. The difference between integers x and – 6 is – 5. Find the values of x.

x – (-6) = - 5 or – 6 – x = - 5
Solution:

It is given that
The difference between integers
x – (-6) = - 5 or – 6 – x = - 5
So the value of x is
x + 6 = - 5 or – x = - 5 + 6
By further calculation
x = - 5 – 6 or – x = 1
x = - 11 or x = - 1

3. The sum of two integers is 28. If one integer is – 45, find the other.
Solution:

It is given that
Sum of two integers = 28
One integer = - 45
Other integer = 28 – (-45)
By further calculation
= 28 + 45
= 73

4. The sum of two integers is – 56. If one integer is – 42, find the other.
Solution:

It is given that
Sum of two integers = - 56
One integer = - 42
Other integer = - 56 – (- 42)
By further calculation
= - 56 + 42
= - 14

Solution:
 Selina Solutions Concise Maths Class 7 Chapter 1 -
Integers

It is given that
The difference between an integer x and (-9) is 6
x – (-9) = 6 or – 9 – x = 6
So the value of x is
x – (-9) = 6 or – 9 – x = 6
By further calculation
x + 9 = 6 or – x = 6 + 9
So we get
x = 6 – 9 or – x = 15
Here
x = - 3 or x = - 15

Therefore, possible values of x are – 3 and – 15.

(ii) (-1) × (-1) × (-1) × (-1) × …….. 75 times.
Solution:

(i) (-1) × (-1) × (-1) × 1 60 times because 1 is multiplied even times.

(ii) (-1) × (-1) × (-1) × (-1) × (-1) 75 times because (-1) is multiplied odd times.

= 18 × 108
By further calculation
= 1944

(iii) (-11) × (-15) + (-11) × (-25)

= 165 + 275
By further calculation
= 440

(iv) 10 × (-12) + 5 × (-12)

= - 120 – 60
By further calculation
= - 180

8. (i) If x × (-1) = - 36, is x positive or negative?

(ii) If x × (-1) = 36, is x positive or negative?
Solution:

(i) x × (-1) = - 36
So we get
- x = - 36
By further simplification
x = 36
Hence, it is a positive integer.

(ii) x × (-1) = 36
So we get
- x = 36
By further simplification
x = - 36
Hence, it is a negative integer.

9. Write all the integers between – 15 and 15, which are divisible by 2 and 3.
Solution:

Here the integers between – 15 and 15 are

- 12, - 6, 0, 6 and 12 which are divisible by 2 and 3.

10. Write all the integers between – 5 and 5, which are divisible by 2 or 3.
Solution:

Here the integers between – 5 and 5 are

- 4, - 3, - 2, 0, 2, 3 and 4 which are divisible by 2 or 3.

Solution:

(i) (-20) + (-8) ÷ (-2) × 3

It can be written as

= (-5) – 3 + (-2) × 6
By further calculation
= - 5 – 3 – 12
So we get
= - 8 – 12
= - 20

(iii) 16 + 8 ÷ 4 – 2 × 3
It can be written as
= 16 + 2 – 2 × 3
By further calculation

It can be written as
= 27 – [5 + {28 – 22}]
By further calculation
= 27 – [5 + 6]
So we get
= 27 – 11
= 16

(vi) 48 – [18 – {16 – (5 - )}]

It can be written as
= 48 – [18 – {16 – (5 – 5)}]
By further calculation
= 48 – [18 – {16 – 0}]
So we get

So we get
=-4–7
= - 11

12. Find the result of subtracting the sum of all integers between 20 and 30 from the sum of all integers
from 20 to 30.
Solution:

Here the required number = sum of all integers between 20 and 30 – integers between 20 and 30
Substituting the values
= (20 + 21 + 22 + 23 + 24 + 25 + 26 + 27 + 28 + 29 + 30) – (21 + 22 + 23 + 24 + 25 + 26 + 27 + 28 + 29)
On further calculation
= 20 + 30 = 50

Hence, the required number is 50.

By further calculation
= (-13) × (-17) + (-17)
So we get
= 221 – 17
= 204

14. The product of two integers is – 180. If one of them is 12, find the other.
