Hi there! Hopefully this helps!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answers: D, B.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Explanation for D: -9 + 9 = 0.

Explanation for B: Negative numbers are on the LEFT side of the number line.

And positive numbers are on the right.

Therefore, 9 is to the RIGHT of -9 on the numberline.

Answer 2

Answer: Hi!

Answers B and D are correct.

For B, since negative numbers are on the left side of the number line, a positive number would have to be to the right of a negative number. Since we are adding a negative and a positive number of the same absolute value (9), they would cancel out to 0, which makes D true.

Hope this helps!
