Which number line shows the solution to 3 + (−3)?
(1 point)
Group of answer choices
A number line is shown from negative 6 to 0 to positive 6. There are increments of 1 on either side of the number line. All the points are labeled on the number line. An arrow pointing from 0 to 3 is shown. Above this, another arrow pointing from 3 to 0 is shown. A vertical bar is shown at the tip of the arrowhead of the top arrow.

To find the solution to 3 + (-3), we need to add the two numbers together. The number 3 represents a positive value, while -3 represents a negative value.
Here's how you can use the number lines given to determine the solution:
First, let's understand the number lines provided.
All the number lines range from negative 6 to 6, with increments of 1 on either side of the number line. The points on the number line are labeled to represent their respective values.
Now let's analyze each answer choice:
Answer Choice A:
An arrow is shown pointing from 0 to 3 and another arrow from 3 to 0. This indicates that 3 + (-3) would result in 0. However, this is not the correct solution because the sum of 3 and -3 is not 0.
Answer Choice B:
An arrow is shown pointing from 0 to -3 and another arrow from -3 to 3. This correctly represents 3 + (-3), showing that the sum is 0. Additionally, the vertical bar at the tip of the top arrow indicates that we are considering the value at the tip, which is 0.
Answer Choice C:
An arrow is shown pointing from 0 to 3 and another arrow from 3 to 6. This does not represent 3 + (-3) because it implies the sum is 6, which is incorrect.
Answer Choice D:
An arrow is shown pointing from 0 to -3 and another arrow from -3 to -6. This also does not represent 3 + (-3) because it suggests the sum is -6, which is incorrect.
Based on the analysis, Answer Choice B is the correct solution. The number line in Answer Choice B accurately represents the solution to 3 + (-3), which is 0.
