. Use the number line as a model to find the solution.

1 answer

To solve the equation 7+(-5) using the number line as a model, we start at the number 7 and then move 5 units to the left.

Since we are moving 5 units to the left from 7, we end up at the number 2.

Therefore, the solution to the equation 7+(-5) is 2.
