Answer 2

(D). The number that is 7 to the right of 2 on the number line​

Explanation:

It could also be the number that is 2 to the right of 7 on the number line. When numbers are added, the distances of each to the origin are laid end-to-end from the origin to the right on the number line.

2+7 can mean that the distance 2 is added to the distance 7, or vice versa. (The commutative property of addition says order does not matter.)
