To find the distance between any numbers on the number line, subtract the smaller number from the bigger number.
73 - (-54) = x Since subtracting negative numbers is the same as adding positive numbers ('two dashes (-) makes a plus sign' might be easier to remember) we can write: 73 + 54 = x Solve 73 + 54 = 127
The answer is D
Hopefully this helps! If you have anymore questions or don't understand, feel free to DM me!! :)
The answer is d because when you go from positive to negative you add the positive number to get to zero and than add the number you are getting to make sense?
