Answer:

Therefore the coordinates of point G are

OR

Explanation:

Given:

On number line point E has a coordinate of -3 and

EG =7

To Find:

what are the coordinates of point G = ?

Solution:

If G is to the Right of E then we have,

G-E=7

Substituting ' E ' we get

$G-(-3)=7\\G+3=7\\G=7-3\\G=4$

Similarly,

If G is to the Left of E then we have,

E-G=7

Substituting ' E ' we get

$-3-G=7\\-G=7+3\\-G=10\\G=-10$

Therefore the coordinates of point G are

OR
