Start by setting up an equation. Use x for the integer. The equation would be:

x/-3=12+-20

Find the sum of 12 and -20 which is -8. Therefore the equation would now be:

x/-3=-8

Multiply -8 by -3 which equals 24.

Therefore x=24

Plug it back into the equation to check that it works:

24/-3=12+-20

24/-3=-8

-8=-8

Thefore 24 is the integer that when divided by -3 it equals the sum of 12 and -20.

How do you use the integer rule to simplify expressions with positive and negative numbers?

The integer rule states that when adding or subtracting integers, you combine numbers based on their signs. For addition, if the numbers have the same sign, you add their absolute values and keep the common sign. If they have different signs, you subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger one and take the sign of the number with the larger absolute value. For multiplication and division, a positive times or divided by a positive equals positive, a negative times or divided by a negative equals positive, and a positive times or divided by a negative equals negative.
