Question

7-(-4) is__units from 7 in the ____ direction

Answer 1

7-(-4) is 4 units from 7 in the negative direction. See the explanation and the linear scale attached.

What direction is being referred to in the above Question?

The direction being referred to is the direction of the number on a numerical scale or Linear Scale.

In the attached linear scale, we can see that the arrow stops at 11. This is arrived at by expanding the bracket:

7 - (-4)

the subtraction signs cancel out each other creating a positive sign. Hence we have:

7 + 4

= 11.

Hence, 11 is 4 units away from 7 in the negative direction. That is going toward zero is negative or a reduction hence, to get to 7 you need to go toward the negative section of the scale.
