Answer: Hi!

Answers B and D are correct.

For B, since negative numbers are on the left side of the number line, a positive number would have to be to the right of a negative number. Since we are adding a negative and a positive number of the same absolute value (9), they would cancel out to 0, which makes D true.

Hope this helps!
