On the GRE you cannot assume almost anything. you have to prove it

We do know that the distance between -10 and zero is two units. Therefore every interval is made of two units

a=-12
b=-8
c=4
d=6

Substitute and the correct answer is C

Maybe assume was the wrong word. "Deduce" might be better. Could you clarify, is it true that we can deduce b is -8?

b is one interval to the right of −10, b = −10 + 2 = −8

This way YES. We can deduce that b is -8

Ok great, thank you. I just couldn't tell if the original explanation was saying b = -8 or b is proportional to -8
