Question

Why is 2 + (−3) equal to −1?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

On a number line

:-Adding a positive number means moving to the right

-Adding a negative number means moving to the left

basically the easiest way to explain is pretend to have a point at -3 if you move it to the right 2 times your point will now be at -1.

Answer 2

Answer:

Because it is 3 units to the left of 2 on a horizontal number line. (first answer)

Step-by-step explanation:

when you substract you take the number your substracting and move it to the left of the number line the number your substracting.

In this case you have 2 and you substract 3 so from 2 you move 3 spaces from the numberline to the left

Which is the first one.
