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.
To solve the equation -8 + 10, we start at -8 on the number line and move 10 units to the right.
Starting at -8, we move one unit to the right to reach -7, then another unit to reach -6. We continue moving one unit to the right until we reach 2.
Therefore, the solution is 2.
To solve the equation -8 + 10, you can use the number line as a model.
Start by finding the number -8 on the number line. It is located to the left of 0.
Then, move 10 units to the right starting from -8. Each unit on the number line represents one number.
As you move 10 units to the right from -8, you will pass through -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, and finally 2.
Therefore, the solution to the equation -8 + 10 is 2.
