Now this was the situation when we add 10 or subtract 10 but it's completely legitimate to have an alternate way of thinking of what you do when you move this distance and let's think about that so let's say i have another line over here and you might guess this is going to be the logarithmic number line we give ourselves some space and let's start this logarithmic number line at 1 and I'll let you think about, after this video, why I didn't start it at zero and if you start at 1 and instead of moving that so I'm still going to define that same distance that same distance it's gonna be a little smaller i'm still gonna to define that same distance but instead of saying that that same distance is adding 10 when I move to the right
