Given the expression 67+(-35), can you determine, without finding the sum, the distance between 67 and the sum? Is the sum to the right or left of 67 on the number line? Please help and thank you.

Answer:

Yes, the distance between 67 and the sum can be found without finding the sum

The sum is 35 to the left of 67

Given the expression:

67 + (-35)
