I’m so confused

Question

On a number line suppose the coordinate of E is -3, and EG=8, what are the possible coordinate of G?

Answer 1

Hi Travon,

It seems like a lot of students like yourself are having problems converting distances to a number line. Usually, a line has endpoints if it is of a particular distance. So, if one of the endpoints is -3, then adding or subtracting the distance from this endpoint to the next would give you the possible coordinates of G.

Best of Luck,
