Question

Which of the following is a correct interpretation of the expression-7-(-11) choose one answer .Please help me I need this ASAP

Answer 1

B. Start at -7 on the number line and move 11 to the right is the correct interpretation.

Explanation:

Step 1:

In order to plot the expression
`-7-(-11)` we plot the numbers individually on the number line. The 7 indicates moving 7 units and its negative symbol means that we move to the left.

-7 means we start 7 units left to 0.

Step 2:

The negative of a negative is positive. So
`-(-11)` becomes
`+11.`

The positive symbol means we move to the right for 11 units.

So we start at -7 and move 11 to the left to land on +4.

So the answer is option B.
