Answer 1

i) 4 more than 6
We want an integer that is 4 more than 6. So, we will start from 6 and proceed 4 steps to the right to obtain 10.


ii) 5 more than -6
We want an integer that is 5 more than -6. So, we will start from -6 and proceed 5 steps to the right to obtain -1.



iii) 6 less than 2
We want an integer that is 6 less than 2. So, we will start from 2 and proceed 6 steps to the left to obtain -4.





iv) 2 less than -3
We want an integer that is 2 less than -3. So, we will start from -3 and proceed 2 steps to the left to obtain -5
