Question

the number line shows an unknown number, x. is 1 + x positive or negative? positive negative submit

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the position of \( x \)

From the number line, \( x \) is to the right of \( 1 \), so \( x>1 \).

Step2: Determine the sign of \( 1 + x \)

If \( x>1 \), then add \( 1 \) to both sides: \( 1 + x>1 + 1=2 \). Since \( 2 \) is positive, \( 1 + x \) is positive.

Answer:

positive
