Question

Fill in the blanks
Subtracting Integers on a Number Line
Subtract: 4 - 7
Rewrite as addition: 4 + (_
_)
* Start at 0.
* Plot 4 by moving 4 units to the right.
* Add -7 by moving 7 units to the left.

4 - 7 = _

Subtracting Integers on a Number Line
Subtract: -2 -3
Rewrite as addition: -2 + (
• Start at 0.
_)
* Plot -2 by moving 2 units to the left.
* Add -3 by moving 3 units to the left.

-2 - 3 =___


Subtract: -3 - 3
Rewrite as addition: -3 + (
_)
* Start at 0.
* Plot -3 by moving 3 units to the left.
* Add -3 by moving 3 units to the left.

-3 - 3 =____
The distance from 0 to -6 is 6 units.
So the distance =___

Subtract: 5 - (-2)
Rewrite as addition: 5 +
* Start at 0.
* Plot 5 by moving 5 units to the right.
* Add 2 by moving 2 units to the right.

5 - (-2) = _
The distance from 0 to 7 is 7 units.

Answer 1

Let's fill in the blanks for each subtraction problem:

1. **Subtracting Integers on a Number Line**
- Subtract: 4 - 7
- Rewrite as addition: 4 + (-7)
- *Start at 0.*
- *Plot 4 by moving 4 units to the right.*
- *Add -7 by moving 7 units to the left.*

4 - 7 = **-3**

2. **Subtracting Integers on a Number Line**
- Subtract: -2 - 3
- Rewrite as addition: -2 + (-3)
- *Start at 0.*
- *Plot -2 by moving 2 units to the left.*
- *Add -3 by moving 3 units to the left.*

-2 - 3 = **-5**

3. **Subtracting Integers on a Number Line**
- Subtract: -3 - 3
- Rewrite as addition: -3 + (-3)
- *Start at 0.*
- *Plot -3 by moving 3 units to the left.*
- *Add -3 by moving 3 units to the left.*

-3 - 3 = **-6**
- The distance from 0 to -6 is 6 units.
- So the distance = **6**

4. **Subtracting Integers on a Number Line**
- Subtract: 5 - (-2)
- Rewrite as addition: 5 + 2
- *Start at 0.*
- *Plot 5 by moving 5 units to the right.*
- *Add 2 by moving 2 units to the right.*

5 - (-2) = **7**
- The distance from 0 to 7 is 7 units.

So, here are all the answers:

- 4 - 7 = **-3**
- -2 - 3 = **-5**
- -3 - 3 = **-6**
- The distance = **6**
- 5 - (-2) = **7**
