- 14 and + 4
consider 9 units left or right of - 5
- 5 - 9 = - 14 ( left of - 5 on the number line )
-5 + 9 = + 4 ( right of - 5 on the number line )
Answer:
If you want to find the numbers that are 9 units away from -5, the thing you need to do is first, locate the -5 in the number line.
Now, move 9 units to the left, the number in where you landed, is 9 units away from -5
Now, go again to the -5, and now move 9 units to the right, the number where you landed is also 9 units away from -5.
In a regular number line, where the units are of a value of 1, these two numbers will be:
Left: -5 - 9 = -14,
Right -5 + 9 = 4
