Question
Use the number line and add the following integers: $5 + (-2) + (-6)$
✓
Answer
On the number line, we start from $0$ and move $5$ steps to the right to reach point $A.$
Now, starting from $A$, we move $2$ steps to the left to reach point $B.$
Again, starting from $B$, we move $6$ steps to the left to reach point $C.$
$C$ represents the integer $-3$ Therefore, $5 + (-2) + (-6) = -3$
Now, starting from $A$, we move $2$ steps to the left to reach point $B.$
Again, starting from $B$, we move $6$ steps to the left to reach point $C.$
$C$ represents the integer $-3$ Therefore, $5 + (-2) + (-6) = -3$
