Math Problem Statement

Which number line models -2 + 4?

Solution

The question asks which number line correctly models the sum 2+4-2 + 4.

  1. The first number line starts at 2-2 and moves 4 units to the right, landing at +2+2.
  2. The second number line also starts at 2-2, but only moves 3 units to the right, landing at +1+1.

Since 2+4-2 + 4 equals +2+2, the first number line is the correct model for this addition problem.
