Given
Starting at 0 on a number line, a point is moved 21 units, then 53 units, then 721 units, and finally negative-50 units.
To find:
Where has the point moved to?
Explanation:
It is given that,
Starting at 0 on a number line, a point is moved 21 units, then 53 units, then 721 units, and finally negative-50 units.
That implies,
Since starting at 0 on a number line, a point is moved 21 units.
Then,
[tex]0+21=21[/tex]Also, then 53 units.
Then,
[tex]21+53=74[/tex]Also, then 721 units.
Then,
[tex]74+721=795[/tex]And, finally negative-50 units.
Then,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 795+(-50)=795-50 \\ =745 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the point is moved to 745.
