10. EXAMPLE 1 Adding Integers Using a Number Line Use a number line to find the sum. a. 5 + ( 8) – Start at 0 . Move 5 units to the right. Then move 8 units to the left.
11. EXAMPLE 1 Adding Integers Using a Number Line Use a number line to find the sum. a. 5 + ( 8) – Start at 0 . Move 5 units to the right. Then move 8 units to the left. Answer The final position is –3 . So, 5 + (–8) = –3 .
12. EXAMPLE 1 Adding Integers Using a Number Line Use a number line to find the sum. b. – 6 + 10 Start at 0 . Move 6 units to the right. Then move 10 units to the left.
13. EXAMPLE 1 Adding Integers Using a Number Line Use a number line to find the sum. b. – 6 + 10 Start at 0 . Move 6 units to the right. Then move 10 units to the left. Answer The final position is 4 . So, –6 + 10 = 4 .
