Q. Which of the following is a correct interpretation of the expression −4+13?Choose 1 answer:(A) The number that is 4 to the left of −13 on the number line(B) The number that is 4 to the right of −13 on the number line(C) The number that is 13 to the left of −4 on the number line(D) The number that is 13 to the right of −4 on the number line
Understand Operation: To solve this problem, we need to understand the operation being performed. The expression −4+13 involves adding a positive number to a negative number.
Move on Number Line: We start at −4 on the number line and move 13 units to the right because we are adding a positive number.
Calculate Result: Calculating −4+13 gives us 9, which means that starting from −4 and moving 13 units to the right lands us at positive 9 on the number line.
Match with Answer Choices: Now we can match our calculation with the answer choices. The correct interpretation of the expression −4+13 is that it represents the number that is 13 to the right of −4 on the number line.
Correct Interpretation: Therefore, the correct answer is (D) The number that is 13 to the right of −4 on the number line.
