Math Problem Statement

Use the number line to find the difference for the problems shown.

Solution

The image you've provided shows number line diagrams related to two subtraction problems involving integers:

  1. Problem 7: This problem depicts a number line with a red arrow moving from 1-1 to 4-4, which represents the subtraction 13-1 - 3. The result is 4-4.

  2. Problem 8: This problem shows another number line with a blue arrow moving from 22 to 3-3, indicating the subtraction 252 - 5. The result is 3-3.

These diagrams help visualize subtraction on a number line by showing how you move left from the starting point to subtract a positive number.

Would you like to go into further details or have any questions?

Here are 5 related questions you might explore:

  1. What is the general rule for subtracting a positive integer from a number on a number line?
  2. How would the number line change if you were subtracting a negative integer?
  3. Can you explain how addition can be visualized on a number line?
  4. What happens when you subtract a larger positive integer from a smaller one?
  5. How does using a number line help in understanding integer operations?

Tip: When subtracting integers, think of subtraction as moving to the left on a number line. This can help you better understand and visualize the result.
