Question

question 7 points 3 a butterfly moves to the left of the origin by 6 units, and then moves to the right by 9 units. what is the position of the butterfly on the number line now?

Explanation:

Step1: Define initial position

The origin is at \(0\) on the number line. Moving left by 6 units from the origin means the position is \(0 - 6=-6\).

Step2: Move right by 9 units

From the position \(-6\), moving right by 9 units means we add 9 to \(-6\). So, \(-6 + 9 = 3\).

Answer:

The position of the butterfly on the number line now is \(3\).
