Answer: -9 and -3 are numbers which are 3 units from -6 on the number line.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

3 units from -6 on the number line.

As we know that

there is right hand side and left hand side on the number line.

Left hand side is for negative numbers, and right hand side is for positive numbers.

So, the number which is 3 units from -6 on the left is given by

$-6-3=-9\ units$

The number which is 3 units from -6 on the right is given by

$-6+3=-3\ units$

Hence, -9 and -3 are numbers which are 3 units from -6 on the number line.
