Final answer:
To evaluate the expression -5 - 2 using the integer tiles interactive, drag 5 sets of -2 tiles to the window, drag zero pairs to cancel out the -2, remove the 5 groups of -2 tiles, and finally remove 5 negative tiles from the window to get the final answer of -7.
Step-by-step explanation:
To evaluate the expression -5 - 2 using the integer tiles interactive, you need to follow these steps:
- Drag 5 sets of -2 tiles to the window. This represents -5.
- Drag zero pairs to the window. This cancels out the -2, leaving only -5.
- Remove the 5 groups of -2 tiles. You are left with -5 - 2.
- Finally, remove 5 negative tiles from the window. You are left with -7.
