Here are the solutions to the problems:

Question 5: Which number is to the right of the zero (0) and is opposite to -2 on the number line?

  1. Find the opposite of -2.

    The opposite of −2-2 is 2.

  2. Check if the number is to the right of zero.

    Numbers to the right of zero on the number line are positive numbers. Since 2 is a positive number, it is to the right of zero.

    The number is 2\boxed{2}.


    Question 6: Write the integers which lie between 0 and -7.

  3. Identify the integers between 0 and -7.

    These are the integers greater than -7 and less than 0.

    The integers are −6,−5,−4,−3,−2,−1\boxed{-6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1}.


    Question (implicitly 7, about subtraction): 17 is subtracted from a number and the result is -10. Find the number.

  4. Set up the equation.

    Let the unknown number be xx.
    The problem states x−17=−10x - 17 = -10.

  5. Solve for xx.

    Add 17 to both sides of the equation:

    x−17+17=−10+17x - 17 + 17 = -10 + 17 x=7x = 7

    The number is 7\boxed{7}.


    Question 7 (sequence): Find the next three integers of the sequence: -5, -4, -3, -2, ...

  6. Identify the pattern.

    Each number in the sequence is 1 greater than the previous number. This is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of +1+1.

  7. Find the next three numbers.

    Starting from −2-2, add 1 repeatedly:
    The next number is −2+1=−1-2 + 1 = -1.
    The second next number is −1+1=0-1 + 1 = 0.
    The third next number is 0+1=10 + 1 = 1.

    The next three numbers are −1,0,1\boxed{-1, 0, 1}.


    Question (implicitly 8, sum of opposite integers): What is the sum of two opposite integers?

  8. Define opposite integers.

    Opposite integers are two integers that have the same absolute value but different signs (e.g., aa and −a-a).

  9. Find their sum.

    Let the integers be aa and −a-a.
    Their sum is a+(−a)=a−a=0a + (-a) = a - a = 0.

    The sum of two opposite integers is 0\boxed{0}.


    Question 8 (addition expression): Add the expression: (-2) + 8 + (-1).

  10. Write the expression.

    −2+8+(−1)-2 + 8 + (-1)
  11. Simplify the expression.

    −2+8−1-2 + 8 - 1 6−16 - 1 55

    The sum is 5\boxed{5}.


    Question (implicitly 9, successor): What is the successor of -42?

  12. Define successor.

    The successor of an integer is the integer immediately following it on the number line, which is found by adding 1.

  13. Calculate the successor of -42.

    −42+1=−41-42 + 1 = -41

    The successor of -42 is −41\boxed{-41}.


    Question 9: Write the opposite of:

    (i) 40 km East

    (ii) increase in temperature

    i) The opposite of 40 km East40 \text{ km East} is 40 km West\boxed{40 \text{ km West}}.

    ii) The opposite of increase in temperature\text{increase in temperature} is decrease in temperature\boxed{\text{decrease in temperature}}.


    Question (implicitly 10, sum): Find the sum of 72 and -84.

  14. Write the sum.

    72+(−84)72 + (-84)
  15. Simplify the expression.

    72−8472 - 84 −12-12

    The sum is −12\boxed{-12}.
