Question

David and Victoria are playing the Integer Card Game. David drew three cards, -6, 12, and -4. What is the sum of the cards in his hand? Model your answer on the number line below. Please show work.

Answer 1

The sum of all the cards is 2 (+2)

Here, we want to find the sum of cards drawn by David

We simply add all the values together

This will be -6 + 12 -4 = 2

So, to model this on the number line, we simply identify the position 2 on the number line and mark it with a black dotted circle

The modeling is shown below;
