How to add and subtract integers on a number line
Start at the first number. Adding a positive number moves you to the right; adding a negative number moves you to the left.
Example: −2 + 5
Start at −2 and move 5 units to the right. You land on 3, so −2 + 5 = 3.
Example: 3 − 6
Subtracting a positive number moves you to the left. Start at 3 and move 6 units to the left. You land on −3, so 3 − 6 = −3.
Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding its opposite: −8 − (−5) = −8 + 5 = −3. On the number line you move to the right.
