To find the sum of p+q using a number line, we would start by locating the point on the number line that represents p, which is -19. We would then count spaces to the right. Since q is 12.1, we would count 12 spaces to the right from -19. The sum of p+q would be the point we land on after counting those spaces.
that doesnt make since
I apologize for the confusion. Let me explain it more clearly.

To find the sum of p+q using a number line, we start by locating the point that represents p=-19 on the number line. We start from zero and move 19 spaces to the left to reach the point that represents -19.

Next, we need to find the point on the number line that represents q=12.1. Starting from the point that represents -19, we would move 12 spaces to the right. Since q is 12.1, we also need to consider the decimal point. We would move an additional space to the right, which represents the 0.1.

After moving 12 spaces to the right and considering the decimal point, we would reach the point on the number line that represents 12.1.

To find the sum p+q, we would then count the total number of spaces we moved on the number line from the point representing -19 to the point representing 12.1. This would give us the sum of p+q.
