Here's an example:

Find the opposites of the integers that are 4 units away from -2

First, draw a number line.

Then locate -2 on the number line.

Next, move 4 units to the left. You're at -6. The opposite of -6 is 6.

Go back to -2.

Next, move 4 units to the right. You're at 2. The opposite of 2 is -2.

Now we have the opposites of the integers that are 4 units away from -2. They are -2 and 6.

Questions?

Quaid is assuming that "opposite" means "negative" or "symmetric about 0". audge, is that what you meant?

First step, what are "the integers 3 unit away from -7"?

I think that the first step in using a number line to find something is: Draw a number line.
