Exercise 20 Page 197

A integer tells us exactly how many whole units we will move away from 0 along the number line.

Practice makes perfect
To graph the given numbers on a number line, let's first consider their form. { 3, -7, 6}

In this case, we are given three integers. An integer tells us exactly how many whole units we will move away from 0 along the number line. Let's consider the first number. Since we have a positive number, we will move to the right 3 whole units.

One of the remaining two integers is a negative number. This means we move away the according number of whole units to the left from 0.
