Let's solve each of these problems step by step:

43 - (70):

Subtract 70 from 43: 43 − 70 = − 27


(-31) - (17):

Subtract 17 from -31: − 31 − 17 = − 48


56 - (-9):

Subtracting a negative is the same as adding the positive: 56 + 9 = 65


(-72) - (-81):

Subtracting a negative is like adding: − 72 + 81 = 9


(-100) - (-63):

Again, subtracting a negative is the same as adding: − 100 + 63 = − 37


0 - (-65):

Subtracting a negative is like adding: 0 + 65 = 65


(-16) - 9 - (-15):

Simplify by subtraction and addition: − 16 − 9 + 15 = − 25 + 15 = − 10


(-26) + (-34) + (-30):

Add all the negative numbers: − 26 + ( − 34 ) + ( − 30 ) = − 26 − 34 − 30 = − 90


68 - (-32) - (-15):

Subtracting negatives is like adding: 68 + 32 + 15 = 115


Subtract (i) +25 from (-35), (ii) (-26) from (-34):


* (i) Subtract 25 from -35:
\[-35 - 25 = -60\]
* (ii) Subtract -26 from -34:
\[-34 + 26 = -8\]


The sum of two integers is 34. If one of the integers is (-18), find the other.

* Let the other integer be [tex]x[/tex]. The equation is:
\[x + (-18) = 34\]
* Solve for [tex]x[/tex]:
\[x = 34 + 18 = 52\]


The sum of two integers is -48. If one of the integers is 17, find the other.

* Let the other integer be [tex]y[/tex]. The equation is:
\[17 + y = -48\]
* Solve for [tex]y[/tex]:
\[y = -48 - 17 = -65\]

Each problem involves basic operations with integers, including addition, subtraction, and understanding how negative numbers affect these operations.
