Which phrases correctly describe the location of –52 on the number line?
choose exactly two answers that are correct.
a. to the left of –38
b. to the right of –51
c. to the right of –63
d. to the left of –76

For this, i would suggest drawing yourself a quick number line--it doesn't need to be anything fancy; just mark where 0 is and mark where -52 is. because -52 is a negative number, it'll be on the LEFT side of the 0. the number line makes this problem way easier.

now look at your answers, and put a tick mark for each of them. figure out where they all lie along a number line. -38 is negative, so still to the left of the 0, but it isn't as big of a number as -52, so you know it isn't as far left as -52. it would fall somewhere between 0 and -52. because -52 is less than -38, it falls to the LEFT of -38, like the answer choice states.

look at your mark for -51. it's only one unit greater than -52, but -52 is on the left side of it, not to the right. this answer choice isn't correct.

check -63. because -52 is greater than -63, it IS to the right of that value. this answer choice is correct.

check -76. this number is less than -52, so -52 ends up on the right side of -76. this answer choice isn't correct.

you should come up with the answers A and C.
