We can calculate the opposite of a number by multiplying it by (-1).
a) The opposite of 6 is 6*(-1)=-6.
b) The opposite of -3 is (-3)*(-1) = 3.
c) "Two numbers 3 away from 1" can be written as:
[tex]2\cdot(3)-1=6-1=5[/tex]
d) A "neither positive or negative" can only be 0.
e) Opposite of 2 is -2.
f) "Two number 6 away from -3" can be written as:
[tex]2(6)-3=12-3=9[/tex]
