Question

Using the number line write the integer which is:

$3\mathrm{less}\mathrm{than}-2$

Answer 1

Integer:

$3$ less than $-2$ means subtracting $3$ from $-2$, which gives us $-5$.

$\therefore -2-3=-5$

Hence, the value of $\mathbf{}\mathbf{3}\mathbf{}\mathbf{less}\mathbf{}\mathbf{than}\mathbf{}\mathbf{-}\mathbf{2}$ is $\mathbf{-}\mathbf{5}$.
