Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Using the integer tiles :

Drawing 2 tiles each time an eagle is obtained, this gives:

-2 + - 2 + - 2 + - 2 + - 2 = - 10

Using the number line,

Each unit on the number line = - 2

Any time an eagle scored ; take a unit step to the left.

This give ls a unit step 5 times

-2 + - 2 + - 2 + - 2 + - 2 = - 10

Using direct multiplication :

-2 * 5 = - 10 as it means - 2 in 5 places ; similarly, scoring - 2 five times will give - 10

Also note :

Either - 2 * 5 or - 5 * 2 is the same due to commutativity property of multiplication
