. Suppose you received $ from your grandmother for your birthday. You spent $ on snacks. Using

addition, how would you write an equation to represent this situation?

+ (−) =

b. How would you model your equation on a number line to show your answer?

Real-world situations can be modeled with equations and represented on a real number line. In this exercise, positive

ten represents the $10 given as a birthday gift because it is a gain. Negative four represents the $4 spent on snacks

because it is a loss. Gaining $10 and then taking away $4 leaves you with $6.
