Answer:

b. false

Explanation:

it is 22 spots below 0. Don't let the negative confuse you you need to look at what number is bigger. 30 is 30 numbers above 0. If you picture it on a number line try to picture what number is further.

Answer:

b. false

-22 is 22 numbers away from 0 and 30 is 30 numbers away. When thinking about a timeline, it doesn't matter if the number is negative or positive in respect to its position.
