Question

Using the number line, write integer which is:

(i) 2 more than 3
(ii) 5 less than 3
(iii) 4more than −9

Answer 1

(i) We want an integer two more than 3. So, on the number line, we will start from 3 and move 2 units to the right to obtain 5, as shown on the number line.

(ii) We want an integer five less than 3. So, on the number line, we will start from 3 and move 5 units to the left to obtain −2, as shown on the number line.

(iii) We want an integer four more than −9. So, on the number line, we will start from −9 and move 4 units to the right to obtain −5, as shown on the number line.
