Question

You start at (2, 7). You move left 1 unit and right 5 units. Where do you end?

Answer 1

Answer: (6,7)

Step-by-step explanation:

See the diagram below.

Start at point A(2,7). Move left one unit to get to B(1,7). Then move 5 units right to arrive at C(6,7)

Basically you can think of it as being at 2 on the number line. Move 1 unit left to get to 1 on the number line (since 2-1 = 1). Then move 5 units right to arrive at 6 on the number line (since 1+5 = 6). That 6 is the x coordinate of the answer. The y coordinate stays at 7 the entire time because we haven't moved up or down.
