Question

What is the sum of 3 + ( –4 ) ? You may use the number line to help you figure out you’re answer

Answer 1

-1

Explanation:

It's basically 3-4

Let's say you have to make 4 pies by 4:00 but only make 3. You'd be missing 1.

Answer 2

-1

Explanation:

To visualize this on a number line you are moving four spots over to the left of 3 (since it is to the left, it is a negative four). 3 to 2 is the first movement to left, 2 to 1 is the 2nd movement, 1 to 0 is the third movement, and 0 to -1 is the fourth movement to the left.
