Let the number be x
The sum of 2 equal numbers is simply x+x or 2x.
It would be: - 2 - (-10) = 5x - 12
= -2 + 10 = 5x - 12
= 8 + 12 = 5x
= x = 20 / 5
= x = 4
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Refer to file. Trying something different. Should be easier to read than text format and is easier than mathML.
1) It’s true because -5 is way smaller than 3. All the negatives are below the 0 and everything below the 0 is lower than everything above the 0.
2) false. it’s false because in order -5 isn’t even close to 3
3) false.. It’s false because when you have those 2 line that are covering the -5 that means it’s “transforming” into a positive number. So therefore it’s would be 5>3 that would make it true.
4) True. it’s true because like I said the to lines mean the absolute value of something. So it’s being switch to a positive number
Hope this helps :)
