Question

(01.01 LC)Which number line best shows how to solve −4 − (−6)?

Answer 1

Answer:

I think there should be a picture for this, but since I don't see any, I will just explain visually.

On a number line, you would go 4 steps or bars to the left (since it is negative) and then since it is minus, minus, it would be the OPPOSITE of negative, which is positive. so you go from -4 to 6 steps to the right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Did you know that there is a easy way to know this?

If you see -(-, it looks like a plus (+), right?

Well, it is!! This is how I remember it, and it is the easiest and fun way to remember it. Remember, -(- is +.

So, the equation would be

-4 + 6.

To solve the answer, you can do 6 - 4. Since 6 is a positive and has a greater value, you would subtract 4 from it to get a positive number. 6 minus 4 is 2, so on the number line, you should end at positive 2.
