(xii) (-7) – (-2)

Answer-4

(i) (+5) + (+4)
Exercise - 7 C Number Line for ICSE Class-6th Concise Maths Ans-4.1
First of all, we move 5 units to the right of zero then for (+4), move 4 units right of 5, then we reach at 9, then
(+5) + (+4) = +9
(ii) (+6) + (+8)

First of all, we move 6 units to the right of zero then for (+8), we move 8 units to the right of (+6)
Then we reach at +14, then
(+6) + (+8) = +14
(iii) (-3) + (+5)

First of all for (-3) we move, 3 units to the left of zero, then move (+5) units to the right of 5, then we reach at (+2), then
(-3) + (+5) = -3 + 5 = 2
(iv) (-3) + (+7)

First of all, we move for (-3) 3 unit to the left of zero and then for (+7), we move 7 units to the right of (-3) reaching +4 Then (-3) + (+7) = +4
(v) (+6) + (-2)

First of all, we move for (+6), 6 units to the right of zero and then for (-2), move 2 units to the left of 6, then we reach 4 Then (+6) + (-2) = 6 – 2 = 4
(vi) (-3) + (+3)

First of all for (-3), we move 3 units left of zero and then for (+3) we move 3 unit right of (-3) reaching at 0
So, (-3) + (+3) = 0
(vii) (-5) + (-5)

First of all for -5, we move 5 units to left of zero and then for (-5), we move 5 units to left of (-5) reaching at -10
(-5) +(-5) = -10
(viii) (-7) + (-1)
Exercise - 7 C Number Line for ICSE Class-6th Concise Maths Ans-4.7
First of all for -7, we move 7 units left of zero and then for (-1) we move 1 unit left of -7 reaching -8
(-7) + (-1) = -8
(ix) (+6) – (+2)

First of all for (+6) we move 6 units right of 0 and then for (+2), we move 2 units left of 6 reaching 4
(+6)-(+2) = 6 – 2 = 4
(x) (+5) – (-3)

Mark the points (+5) and (-3) on the same number line. We see that the position of (-3) is 8 units from (+5) to its right 3.
(+5) – (-3) = 5 + 3 = 8
(xi) (+4) – (-1)

Mark the points (+4) and (-1) on the same number line, we see that the position of (-1) is 5 units from (+4) to its right
(+4) – (-1) = 4 + 1 = 5
(xii) (-7) – (-2)

Mark the points (-7) and (-2) on the same number line, we see that (-2) is 5 units on the left (-2)
-7 – (-2) = -7 + 2 = -5
