Q. Which of the following is a correct interpretation of the expression −3−5 -3-5 ?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) Start at 55 on the number line and move 33 to the left.\newline(B) Start at 55 on the number line and move 33 to the right.\newline(C) Start at −3-3 on the number line and move 55 to the left.\newline(D) Start at −3-3 on the number line and move 55 to the right.
  1. Interpretation of expression: The expression −3−5-3-5 can be interpreted as starting at −3-3 on the number line and subtracting 55 from it.
  2. Subtracting 55 from −3-3: Subtracting 55 from −3-3 means moving 55 units to the left on the number line from the point −3-3.
  3. Moving 55 units to the left: If we move 55 units to the left from −3-3, we reach −8-8 on the number line. This corresponds to the calculation −3−5=−8-3 - 5 = -8.
  4. Reaching −8-8 on the number line: The correct interpretation of the expression −3−5-3-5 is therefore ＂Start at −3-3 on the number line and move 55 to the left,＂ which corresponds to option C.
