Take the first number and look at the rule. Since 2 is positive, you start at that number and face to the right.
< -10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 > > Next, you take the symbol in between the two numbers. Since it’s the minus sign, or a subtraction problem, you have to get ready to walk backwards But before you do that, check the last number. Since 4 is positive, you still have to face to the right and move 4 spaces backwards.
