I am confused on this: Explain how to use a number line to find the opposites of the integers 3 units away from -7. What does it ask you to do here, and which way to you go when it asks you 3 units away from -7?

Go both directions

-7 + 3 = -4
-7 - 3 = -10

To use a number line to find the opposites of integers 3 units away from -7, you would start by locating -7 on the number line.

-7 is three units to the left of 0 on the number line.

To find the opposites of integers 3 units away from -7, you would need to go three units in the opposite direction. Since -7 is to the left of 0, you would count three units to the right of 0.

So, to find the opposites, you would go three units to the right of 0 on the number line.

This means the integers 3 units away from -7 in the opposite direction are: -4, -3, -2.
