(−3)+(−3)=
Let's locate negative 3 on the number line.
Since negative 3 is less than 0, we'll move three steps left from zero, where each step represents one whole number as follows:
Now let's look at the operation in the exercise.
Since the operation is
and negative 3 is less than 0, we'll move three steps left from negative 3, where each step represents one whole number as follows:
We can see that we arrived at negative 6.
