Answer:
On the positive end of the line, locate point 5 and move 3 points toward zero (considering only whole number). So that, 5 + (-3) = +2
Step-by-step explanation:
Directed number can be easily located on the number line, which is a line with positive numbered end and negative numbered end separated by midpoint, zero.
So,
5 + (-3) = 5 -3 (since +1 × -1 = -1)
= 2 (or +2)
This shows that the answer is two points away from zero on the number line (considering only whole number).
