Question

Find the solution of the following addition using number line: (a) (-2) + 6

Answer 1

First we move 2 steps left to the integer 0 to reach the integer (-2). Now from this point move 6 steps to the right of the integer -2 (as we need to add 6 to -2) on the number line.

Thus (-2) + 6 = -2 + 6 = 4
