Problem 1:
Step1: Recall the rule of subtracting a number is adding its opposite.
We know that \( a - b = a + (-b) \). So for the equation \( 7 - \square = 7 + \square \), let the first blank be \( x \) and the second blank be \( y \). Then \( 7 - x = 7 + y \), which implies \( -x = y \), so \( x=-y \). Looking at the number bank \(-7, -4, -2, 1, 2, 3\), we need two numbers where one is the opposite of the other. The pairs are: if we take \( x = 2 \), then \( y=-2 \) (since \( -2 \) is in the number bank) or \( x = 4 \) (but 4 is not in the bank), \( x = 7 \) (7 not in bank). Wait, the number bank has \(-2\) and \( 2 \)? Wait the number bank is \(-7, -4, -2, 1, 2, 3\). So let's check: \( 7 - 2 = 5 \), \( 7 + (-2)=5 \). So the first blank is \( 2 \), the second blank is \( -2 \). Wait, let's verify the rule: \( a - b = a + (-b) \), so \( 7 - b = 7 + (-b) \). So the number we subtract (b) and the number we add (which is -b) should be such that b is in the number bank and -b is also in the number bank. Looking at the number bank, \( b = 2 \), then \( -b=-2 \), both are in the bank. Similarly, \( b = 4 \) (not in bank), \( b=7 \) (not in bank), \( b = 1 \): \( -1 \) not in bank, \( b=3 \): \( -3 \) not in bank, \( b=-2 \): then \( -b = 2 \), so \( 7 - (-2)=9 \), \( 7 + 2 = 9 \). Oh, that's also a solution. Wait, \( 7 - (-2)=7 + 2 \), because subtracting a negative is adding the positive. So let's check both possibilities. Let's see the number bank: \(-7, -4, -2, 1, 2, 3\). So if we take the first blank as \(-2\), then the second blank is \( 2 \), because \( 7 - (-2)=7 + 2 \). Let's calculate: \( 7 - (-2)=9 \), \( 7 + 2 = 9 \). Correct. Or \( 7 - 2 = 5 \), \( 7 + (-2)=5 \). Both work, but let's check the number bank. The number bank has \(-2\) and \( 2 \). So either \( 2 \) and \(-2\) or \(-2\) and \( 2 \). Let's see the equation: \( 7 - \square = 7 + \square \). Wait, the second square is inside the absolute value? No, the equation is \( 7 - \underline{\quad} = 7 + \underline{\quad} \). Wait, maybe I misread. Wait the equation is \( 7 - \underline{\quad} = 7 + \underline{\quad} \). So according to the rule of subtraction of rational numbers: \( a - b = a + (-b) \), so the number we subtract (b) and the number we add (which is -b) must satisfy that. So if we let the first blank be \( b \), the second blank be \( -b \). So from the number bank, possible \( b \) values where \( -b \) is also in the bank: \( b = 2 \), \( -b=-2 \) (both in bank); \( b=-2 \), \( -b = 2 \) (both in bank); \( b = 4 \) (not in bank), \( b=7 \) (not in bank), \( b=1 \) (\(-1\) not in bank), \( b=3 \) (\(-3\) not in bank), \( b=-4 \) (\(4\) not in bank), \( b=-7 \) (\(7\) not in bank). So two possible solutions: \( b = 2 \), \( -b=-2 \) or \( b=-2 \), \( -b = 2 \). Let's check both:
- \( 7 - 2 = 5 \), \( 7 + (-2)=5 \): correct.
- \( 7 - (-2)=9 \), \( 7 + 2 = 9 \): correct.
Now, looking at the number bank, both \( 2 \) and \(-2\) are present. So we can choose either. Let's pick \( b = 2 \), so first blank is \( 2 \), second blank is \(-2\) or \( b=-2 \), first blank is \(-2\), second blank is \( 2 \).
Problem 2:
(Assuming the number line has \( p \) and \( r \) plotted. Let's assume from the partial number line shown: \( p \) is at \(-3\) (wait the partial number line at the bottom has marks: let's see the yellow text says "click on the image...", but from the visible part, the number line has marks around -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4. Let's assume \( p \) is at \(-3\) (the dot labeled \( p \)) and \( r \) is at \( 1 \) (the dot labeled \( r \))? Wait no, the…
Step1: Recall the subtraction rule.
The rule for subtracting a number is \( a - b = a + (-b) \), so \( 7 - b = 7 + (-b) \). We need \( b \) and \( -b \) from the number bank \(\{-7, -4, -2, 1, 2, 3\}\).
Step2: Identify opposite pairs.
Check which number \( b \) has \( -b \) in the bank:
- If \( b = 2 \), then \( -b=-2 \) (both in bank).
- If \( b=-2 \), then \( -b = 2 \) (both in bank).
Step3: Verify the equation.
For \( b = 2 \): \( 7 - 2 = 5 \) and \( 7 + (-2)=5 \), so \( 7 - 2 = 7 + (-2) \) (true).
For \( b=-2 \): \( 7 - (-2)=9 \) and \( 7 + 2 = 9 \), so \( 7 - (-2)=7 + 2 \) (true).
Step1: Identify \( p \) and \( r \) values.
From the number line, assume \( p=-3 \) (negative, left of zero) and \( r = 1 \) (positive, right of zero).
Step2: Add the rational numbers.
Using the rule \( a + b \) where \( a=-3 \) and \( b = 1 \), we calculate \( -3 + 1=-2 \) (since we move 1 unit to the right from \(-3\) on the number line).
Step3: Plot the sum.
Plot the point at \(-2\) on the number line (the position corresponding to \(-2\)).
