Question

Brett writes a number that is the same distance from O as TO 6on a number line, but in the opposite direction. Whatnumber did Brett write? Explain how you know.

Answer 1

since the number is going on the opposite it must be a negative integrer.

and since the number was 6 units away from 0, it should be the half point between the points.

number = 3

since it is going in the oppsoite direction it should be -3
