Answer:

B

Explanation:

When you have a double negative (ie. 5 -(-10)) they cancel eachother out and become a plus. If you have + and - together, its always a minus, if you have + and + or - and -, its always plus.

Since in 4-(-3), the two minuses cancel each other out and become a plus, you move 3 to the right, since right is the positive direction.

subtracting a negative number changes the equation to an addition.

4 -(-3) becomes 4 + 3 = 7


you would start at 4 and move 3 places to the right.


the answer is B.
