Draw on the number line "start at two, make two jumps of -4 followed by moving -2."
Now write the movement described above as a numeric expression.

Answer 1

To draw on the number line according to the given instructions, start at 2 and make 2 jumps of -4 followed by moving -2. The numeric expression representing this movement is 2 + (-4) + (-4) + (-2) = -8.

Step-by-step explanation:

To draw on the number line according to the given instructions, we start at 2 and make 2 jumps of -4 followed by moving -2.

Starting at 2, the first jump is to the left of 2 by 4 units, which takes us to -2. The second jump is also to the left by 4 units, which takes us to -6. Finally, we move to the left by 2 units from -6, which takes us to -8.

So, the movement described above can be written as a numeric expression: 2 + (-4) + (-4) + (-2) = -8.
