Question

Find the missing value.Hint: Use the number line to find the missing value.-(-5) = -7A-15-10-5051015

Answer 1

Given:

The expression is ___-(-5) = -7.

The objective is to find the missing value using number line.

Consider the missing value as x.

Now, the expression can be rearranged as,

`\begin{gathered} x-(-5)=-7 \\ x+5=-7 \\ x=-7-5 \end{gathered}`

So, we have to solve -7-5 on number line, which means starting from -7 subtract 5 in the number line.

Hence, the missing value is -12.
