Math Problem Statement

Use the number line to find -3 + 5.

Solution

To solve 3+5-3 + 5 using the number line, follow these steps:

  1. Start at 3-3 on the number line.
  2. Move 5 steps to the right (because you're adding a positive number).

If you begin at 3-3 and move 5 steps to the right:

  • From 3-3 to 2-2 is 1 step,
  • To 1-1 is 2 steps,
  • To 00 is 3 steps,
  • To 11 is 4 steps,
  • To 22 is 5 steps.

Thus, 3+5=2-3 + 5 = 2.
