Question
Use number line and add the integers: $(-2) + 8 + (-4)$
✓
Answer
First, we move $2$ steps to the left of $0$ reaching $-2,$ then from $-2$ we move $8$ steps to the right to reach $+ 6$ and finally from $+ 6$ we move $4$ steps to the left. We reach the point $2.$
Thus, $(-2) + 8 + (-4) = 2.$
Thus, $(-2) + 8 + (-4) = 2.$
