The number after me is 7010. What number am I?
To solve this problem, we'll use the concept of finding a predecessor, which involves simple arithmetic subtraction:
Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: We have the number 7010 as the successor.
Step 2: Since the number before 7010 is its predecessor, we calculate:
.
Therefore, the number immediately before 7010 is .
Which number succeeds the number 9209?
A predecessor is the number that comes before (subtract 1), while a successor is the number that comes after (add 1). Think of it like counting backwards vs forwards!
When you want the number before another number, you move backward on the number line. Moving backward means subtracting, just like counting down: 7010, 7009, 7008...
Yes! This works for all integers - positive, negative, and even zero. For example, the number before -5 is -6, and the number before 0 is -1.
Think of it this way: before means backward, which means subtract. After means forward, which means add. Before = subtract 1, after = add 1!
Then you would add 1 instead! If the number before me is 7009, then I am . Always read carefully to see if you need before (subtract) or after (add).
