Answer 1

(D)seven red tiles plus three red tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the problem

`-7+(-3)`

We represent negative numbers using Red Tiles.

Therefore, representing this using colored tiles would be:

`\begin{gathered} -7=\text{Seven Red Tiles} \\ -3=\text{Three Red Tiles} \\ \text{Therefore:} \\ -7+(-3)=\text{Seven Red Tiles}+\text{Three Red Tiles} \end{gathered}`
