Question

Begin on the number line at 1. First move right 12 units and then move left 16 units, what is the result?

Answer 1

When we move to the right, we need to add the number. When we move to the left we have to subtract. So we have:

`\text{ First Move =}1+12=13`

Then the second move:

`\text{Second move}=13-16=-3`

The result is -3.
