1. Problem Description
The problem asks to identify the number line model that correctly represents the expression .
2. Solution Steps
We need to evaluate the expression .
Since we are adding a negative number, it is the same as subtraction:
Now let's analyze the number line models:
A: Starts at and moves left (negative direction) by . This results in .
B: Starts at and moves right (positive direction) by . This results in .
C: Starts at and moves right (positive direction) by , then moves left (negative direction) by . This represents .
The correct number line model should start at and move to the left by . Model A correctly represents this operation and the final answer is which is the same as .
3. Final Answer
A
