How can one diagram on a number line be used to model both (-12) / (+3) and (-12) / (-4)? Explain your reasoning How can one diagram on a number line be used to model both (-12) / (+3) and (-12) / (-4)? Explain your reasoning @Mathematics

You can map out the points on the line. It will show two things, one, that you know how to use a number line, and two, you can solve equations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i basically just map both equations on the number line and that's all?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First solve the equation, it would be -4 for the first and positive 3 for the other, then map it on a number line, i can make one if you would like

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please do, im sorta confused :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright, one sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-4) -3 - 2 -1 0 1 2 (3) 4 (-12) / (+3) -12/3= -4 (-12) / (-4) = 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so map tht on the number line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The top is a number line, the stuff below is the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i get it! it's like inverse operation, thankyou!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Youre welcome(; and please remember to give medels!

OpenStudy (anonymous):
