Step-by-step explanation: This is because the 2 numbers are opposites, which cancel each other out, going back to zero.

Answer 2

To find :-

Which point on the number should be added to -3 to get 0.

Solution :-

The number line ----

-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4

Let us add one by one each number with -3 and check if the result is 0.

(i) -4 + (-3)

= -4 - 3

= -7

(ii) -3 + (-3)

= -3 - 3

= -6

(iii) -2 + (-3)

= -2 - 3

= -5

(iv) -1 + (-3)

= -1 -3

= -4

(v) 0 + (-3)

= 0 - 3

= -3

(vi) 1 + (-3)

= 1 - 3

= -2

(vii) 2 + (-3)

= 2 - 3

= -1

(viii) 3 + (-3)

= 3 - 3

= 0

(ix) 4 + (-3)

= 4 - 3

= 1
