Question

And can you also please show the work too !!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

A: 5 behind the line

Step-by-step explanation:

You can make an equation: 8 - 6 - 4 - 9 + 6

Then you can solve it a little at a time:

8 - 6 = 2

2 - 4 = -2

-2 - 9 = -11

-11 + 6 = -5

Negative 5 is the same thing as 5 behind the line.

Hope this helps!    :)

Answer 2

Answer:

A. Five behind the line.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a number line (see below) to solve this problem.

Start at 0.

Jump eight units to the right.

Then jump in succession six, four, and nine units to the left.

Finally, jump six units to the right.

You end up five units to the left of zero (five squares behind the line).

Mathematically,

0 + 8 - 6 – 4 - 9 + 6 = -5
