Explain how to use a number line to find the sum 7 + −2.

Step-by-step explanation:

start at 7 on the number line. move to the left (because the value is negative) 2 jumps. you will land on 5.

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Usually you would just do 7+-2 which is also 7-2 which equals 5 but since it's a number line you do this

You would locate 7 on the number line and do the same for -2

Once done, you would take the distance 2 is from 0 and push 7 there(basically moving it to 5) and that would be how you would use a number line to find the sum of 7 + -2

Now if the 2 was positive, this would be different and you would add the distance making it 9 but since it's negative you push it towards 0 which makes it 5

I hope this helps!

the central idea is that:

individuals should refuse to cooperate with institutions they believe unjust.

thoreau felt  that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.

he goes on to say that, as a result, people should live true to their own internal laws regarding right and wrong, as a product of reflection and a moral life, rather than following every law that society imposes.
