00:00 Solve

00:03 The number is aimed, negative

00:08 Progress to the negative side of the axis is to the left

00:10 Let's take 12 jumps to the left

00:17 The number is aimed, positive

00:20 Progress to the positive side of the axis is to the right

00:26 Let's take 5 jumps to the right

00:32 And this is the solution to the question

We will locate the number negative 12 on the number line, and from there we will move 5 steps to the right (since 5 is greater than zero):

We can see that we have reached the number negative 7.

$-7$
