Question

If the distance from 0 to x on a number line is greater than 0, then -2 + x is positive. True or false

Answer 1

This is false. Let's test it. 

So let's say that x is 2. 
The statement is:
-2 + x is positive
-2 + 2 is positive
0 is positive
This is not correct

Let's say that x is -2
-2 + x is positive
-2 + (-2) is positive
-2 - 2 is positive
-4 is positive
