Explain how to use a number line to find the opposites of the integers 3 units away from -7.

first, draw the number line, starting at -10 and ending at 10. To find the integers 3 away from -7, first subtract 3. [-7-3=-10]. Then add 3 to -7. -7+3=-4. The opposites of -10 and -4 are, respectively, 10 and 4

To find opposites of integers 3 units from -7 on a number line, locate -7, move 3 spaces left for one integer (-10), and 3 spaces right for the other (-4). Their opposites are the same distance from zero on the other side: +10 and +4 respectively.
To find the opposite of an integer that is 3 units away from -7 on a number line, first locate -7 on the line. Then, to identify the integer that is 3 units away in a negative direction (to the left), you would move 3 spaces to the left of -7, placing you at -10. Conversely, to find the integer 3 units away in a positive direction (to the right), move 3 spaces to the right of -7, landing at -4.
The opposites of these integers would be the corresponding points that are the same distance away from zero but in the opposite direction. Therefore, the opposite of -10 is +10, and the opposite of -4 is +4.

To find the opposites of the integers 3 units away from -7, first calculate -10 and -4 by subtracting and adding 3 to -7. The opposites of these numbers are 10 and 4, respectively.
