To solve the equation 8 + (-10), we start at the number 8 on the number line and move 10 units to the left.
Since we are moving to the left, we subtract 10 from 8:
8 - 10 = -2
Therefore, the solution to the equation 8 + (-10) is "-2" or "negative 2".
Use the image to answer the question.
A number line with arrows at both ends ranges from negative 12 to 12. The numbers negative 12, 0, and 12 are labeled.
Solve the following equation: 8+−10. Use the number line as a model to find the solution.
