Using the number line, write the integer which is

(a) 4 more than - 5

(b) 3 less than 2

(c) 2 less than - 2

Answer:

(a) To get the integer 4 more than - 5, we start from - 5 and move 4 steps to the of right of - 5 and reach at - 1, as shown in the given figure.

Hence, 4 more than - 5 is - 1.

(b) To get integer 3 less than 2, we start from 2 and move 3 steps to the left of 2 and reach at - 1, as shown in the figure given below

Hence, 3 less than 2 is - 1

(c) To get the integer 2 less than - 2, we start from - 2 and move 2 steps to the left of - 2 and reach at - 4, as shown in the figure given below

Hence, 2 less than - 2 is - 4
