Answer: You are correct, the solution is:

-2 + (-4) + 2 = -4

Explanation:

We start at position -2, then we get 4 in the first dice, the first dice tell us how many units we move to the left, and at the left we have the negative side of the numberline then we need to subtract 4 to the starting position. This is:

-2 - 4

Or we can rewrite this as:

-2 + (-4)

Now we got a 2 in the second dice, this dice tell us how many units we move to the right, and we know that the right is the positive side of the numberline, then we need to add 2.

The equation becomes:

-2 + (-4) + 2 = -4

So you are correct.
