Here is your answer:

  • Using the number line you will have to start at -12

  • -12
  • Then drawing a line 15 spaces to the right of -12
  • Which equals positive 3

You can also find the answer this way:


  • -12 + 15 = 3
  • But they want you to use the number line so the first way is the one you need to take a look at:

  • =3

Therefore your answer is "3" or the fourth option.

Hope this helps!
