31 The temperature at 6 a.m. on a winter day was 7.8 Celsius. The temperature went up by 1.9
degrees by noon. To determine the temperature at noon, Michael wants to perform the following
operation:
7.8 + 1.9
Michael decides that the sum will be negative since 7.8 is greater than 1.9. He then adds 7.8 + 1.9 to
get 9.7, and believes that the noon temperature is 9.7 Celsius. Explain the flaw in Michael's
reasoning.
Determine the correct temperature at noon.

Directions: Answer the following question(s).

39 A proof of (1)(1) = 1 is shown below.

First, it will be shown that (1)(1) + (1) = 0.

Now since (1)(1) + (1) = 0, it follows that (1)(1) and 1 are additive inverses, and so (1)(1) = 1.
In order for this proof to be true, the number properties learned in earlier grades must apply to
negative numbers.
