Question

Find each sum or difference.

$-19-8$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The difference of numbers is – 27.

Step 1. Plot – 19 on a number line.

Step 2. Determine side to go.

After – 19 we have –8, which means we have to go 8 units to the left.

Step 3. On graph move 8 units to the left.

Step 4. Interpret the graph.

On the graph, we see that 8 units left from –19 is –27.
This means –19 –  8 = –  27.
