3 + (-5) when you add a negative number, you are subtracting so you can re-write this as 3 - 5 based on that, what do you think? when we subtract, do we go left or right on the number line?
I think it's B
I meant C
Yeah me too
C (or choice 3) is correct. when you subtract, you go left on a number line. so yes, you start at 3 and go left 5 units. well done.
