Subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive, so you would move that many to the right on the number line. For example, 4 - (-20) is the same as 4 + 20, so you would start at 4 and move 20 spaces to the right, and end up with 24 as your answer.
When you divide or multiply two negative numbers they cancel each other out and you have a positive answer. We are measuring relationships instead of moving on a number line like addition or subtraction.
A number line can have both positive and negative numbers. You can put the number line in any position, but often it is represented so that numbers to the right of zero are positive, and numbers to the left of zero, negative.
When you are starting to learn about numbers, their addition and subtraction.
Negative numbers can be found to the left of 0 on the number line.
Numbers to the right of zero on a number line are positive numbers; to the left are the negative numbers.
to separate the negative numbers and the positive numbers on a number line
Negative Number- is any real number less then zero on a number line.
It shows multiple numbers in order to use in addition, subtraction, etc.
A negative, since subtracting a positive is equivalent to moving left done the number line. Since we start left of 0 on the number line, it is only possible to end left of it after subtraction, resulting in a negative. Since the subtraction is the opposite of addition, to subtract a positive really means that you are adding a negative. So you are adding two negatives which gives you a negative sum.
Integers can be negative or positive numbers providing that they are whole numbers without decimals or fractions.
If the number line has negative numbers to the left of zero and positive numbers to the right then the further you go to the right, the greater the numbers become.
