Subtract.
−3−6−(−1)
Plot the solution on the number line.
To subtract, we have:
-3 - 6 - (-1)
Since subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number, we can rewrite the expression as:
-3 - 6 + 1
Now we can perform the subtraction:
-3 - 6 + 1 = -9 + 1 = -8
The solution is -8.
To plot -8 on a number line, we find the number 0 and then count 8 units to the left. The point marked on the number line will be -8.
