Answer:

#1

Explanation:

#1)-3-1.5

you go 3 units left from zero to get to -3

then, you go 1.5 units to the left of -3,

thus getting to -4.5,

#2) in #2 you went to the right to 3 and 4.5, but dude, it is subtraction, so, it should go the opposite way...wrong

#3) you can't change to order of the things in subtraction like in addition, so #3 is wrong answer of 3

#4) like in # 3, you have to go from 0 to (-3) 3 units to the left first, also you go from -3 to -4.5 1.5 units to the left, not -3 to -1.4 -4.5, which makes no sense, steps shown incorrectly to get any single answer at all

#5) you go from -1.5 to 1.5 , then from 0 to -1.5, same as in 4, 3, and 2 you will never get to -4.5, but same as 4 not get any single answer at all
