Question

Samuel walks forward 19 steps. He represents this movement with a positive 19. How would he represent the opposite of this number?

Answer 1

Solution:

Given :

Samuel walks forward 19 steps = +19

Samuel would represent the opposite of the number + 19 by walking backwards which will be -19.

Hence, the opposite of positive(+) 19 is negative(-) 19.
