volume_mute

Correct Answer

True

Explanation

To find -4 + (-3) on a number line, we begin at 0 and draw an arrow 4 units long that points to the left. It represents -4. From the tip of that arrow, we draw a second arrow, 3 units long, that points to the left. It represents -3. Since we end up at -7 , it follows that -4 + (-3) = -7.

−4 + (−3) = −7 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Start −4 −3 End
