I agree with all but 5, 7, and 10.

In #5, I may be wrong, but I would have started at 3. However, it is correct that you have to begin at 0 in order to get to 3. I'm not sure how your particular curriculum views this.

I disagree with #7 and 10. Is this a take home test???

# 1 Correct since odd + odd = even (eg: 3+5=8)

# 2 Correct

# 3 Correct

# 4 Correct (eg: 5-3 does not equal 3-5)

# 5 Incorrect. This question was pretty tricky since you can start at either 3 or -6, but I think the book is looking for you to start with the first given number 3 and then move to the left 6 units (ie subtract 6 from 3). So the answer is C)

# 6 Correct

# 7 Incorrect. You can combine the terms -9 and -21 to get -30, but you CANNOT combine -30 and -3t to get -33t since they are NOT like terms. The only thing you can do is to leave them as they are and say that the answer is -30+(-3t) which means that the answer is C)

# 8 Correct.

# 9 Correct.

# 10 Incorrect. Note how x + (-x) is the same as x - x which subtracts to 0x or just 0. This means that the 'x' terms just cancel out and go away. We're then left with 5 + (-14) = -9 which gives the answer D) -9
