Q. Which of the following is a correct interpretation of the expression 3(4)? 3-(-4) ? \newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) Start at 33 on the number line and move 44 to the left.\newline(B) Start at 33 on the number line and move 44 to the right.\newline(C) Start at 4-4 on the number line and move 33 to the left.\newline(D) Start at 4-4 on the number line and move 33 to the right.
  1. Understand the expression: Understand the expression.\newlineThe expression 3(4)3-(-4) involves subtracting a negative number from a positive number.\newlineSubtracting a negative is the same as adding the opposite positive number.\newlineSo, 3(4)3-(-4) is equivalent to 3+43 + 4.
  2. Perform the calculation: Perform the calculation.\newlineAdding the two numbers together, we get 3+4=73 + 4 = 7.
  3. Interpret the result: Interpret the result on the number line.\newlineStarting at 33 on the number line and adding 44 means moving 44 units to the right.\newlineThis is because when we add a positive number, we move to the right on the number line.
  4. Choose the correct answer: Choose the correct answer.\newlineBased on the interpretation, the correct answer is:\newlineB) Start at 33 on the number line and move 44 to the right.
