Math Problem Statement
. On the number line a) The two numbers that are eight units from 0. b) The two numbers that are six units from 2.
Solution
a) The two numbers that are eight units from 0 on the number line:
- The two numbers eight units away from 0 are found by adding and subtracting 8 from 0. So:
- Thus, the two numbers are 8 and -8.
b) The two numbers that are six units from 2 on the number line:
- Similarly, the two numbers six units away from 2 are found by adding and subtracting 6 from 2. So:
- Therefore, the two numbers are 8 and -4.
