Answer:
The directed number suggested is +3.
Step-by-step explanation:
A directed number is one that has either a positive or negative sign, so that it could be easily located on the number line. Thus, the sign shows the direction of the number. Examples are: -2, -1, +5, +6 etc.
From the given question, let the initial weight be represented by W, then:
I gained 3 pounds implies at that; 3 pounds was added to my initial weight. Thus, my present weight is my initial weight + 3 pounds.
i.e I gained 3 pounds ⇒ W + 3
So that the directed number suggested by the statement is +3.
