Add the following on the number line:
(i) ($-$12) $+$ ($-$2)
(ii) 10 $+$ ($-$7)
(iii) 8 $+$ ($-$8)
(iv) ($-$6) $+$ ($-$2) $+$ (3)

Given:

($-$12) $+$ ($-$2), 10 $+$ ($-$7), 8 $+$ ($-$8) and ($-$6) $+$ ($-$2) $+$ (3)

To find:

We have to add the given numbers on the number line.

Solution:

(i) ($\mathbf{-}$12) $\mathbf{+}$ ($\mathbf{-}$2)

Step 1: First mark $-$12.

Step 2: Move 2 steps to the left.

So, the answer is $-$14.

(ii) 10 $\mathbf{+}$ ($\mathbf{-}$7)

Step 1: First mark 10.

Step 2: Move 7 steps to the left.

So the answer is 3.

(iii) 8 $\mathbf{+}$ ($\mathbf{-}$8)

Step 1: First mark 8.

Step 2: Move 8 steps to the left.

So the answer is 0

(iv) ($\mathbf{-}$6) $\mathbf{+}$ ($\mathbf{-}$2) $\mathbf{+}$ (3)

Step 1: First mark $-$6.

Step 2: Move 2 steps to the left.

Step 3: Move 3 steps to the right.
