A number line with arrows at both the ends ranges from negative 110 to negative 70 in increments of 1, but labeled in increments of 10. A closed circle is placed on negative 75, which is also labeled, and negative 105. A curved arrow is drawn leftward from negative 75 to negative 105.

Starting at 12 on the number line, you must move 17 units in the negative direction to get to −5.
Starting at 12 on the number line, you must move 17 units in the negative direction to get to negative 5 .
Starting at −5 on a number line, you must move 12 units in the positive direction to get to 17.
Starting at negative 5 on a number line, you must move 12 units in the positive direction to get to 17.
Starting at 12 on the number line, you must move 5 units in the negative direction to get to 7.
Starting at 12 on the number line, you must move 5 units in the negative direction to get to 7.
Starting at −5 on the number line, you must move 17 units in the positive direction to get to 12.
Starting at 12 on the number line, you must move 17 units in the negative direction to get to negative 5.
Explanation: The number line shows the progression of numbers from left to right. Starting at 12, if you move 17 units in the negative direction, you will reach -5. This demonstrates the subtraction 12 - (-5) or 12 + 5, which equals 17.

Explanation: By adding -5 four times, we represent -5 multiplied by -4.
-9 * (-18) = (-9) + (-9) + (-9) + ... + (-9) (a total of 18 times)
Explanation: By repeatedly adding -9 a total of 18 times, we can represent the multiplication -9 * (-18).
-9 * (-18) = 162
Explanation: When multiplying two negative numbers, the result is always positive. Therefore, -9 multiplied by -18 equals 162.

(−5) + (−5) + (−5) + (−5) + (−5) + (−5) = 6(−5) = −30
Explanation: By adding -5 a total of 6 times, we can represent the division -30 ÷ -6. This demonstrates that dividing -30 into groups of -6 results in 6 groups of -5, which equals -30.
(-6) + (-6) + (-6) + (-6) + (-6) + (-6) = 6(-6) = -30
Explanation: By adding -6 a total of 6 times, we can represent the division -30 ÷ -6. This demonstrates that dividing -30 into groups of -6 results in 6 groups of -6, which equals -30.
(-6) + (-6) + (-6) + (-6) + (-6) + (-6) = 36
Explanation: By adding -6 a total of 6 times, we can represent the division -30 ÷ -6. This demonstrates that dividing -30 into groups of -6 results in 6 groups of -6, which equals 36.
1) Start with 17 counters of one color to represent -17.
2) Subtract 3 counters of the other color to represent -(-3).
The resulting model will have 14 counters remaining in the original color, which confirms Elaine's answer of -14.
Explanation:
By using a two-color counter model, we can visually represent the subtraction problem -17 - (-3). We start with 17 counters to represent -17, and then we subtract 3 counters to represent -(-3). This action of removing counters of the other color represents the subtraction of a negative number. If we end up with 14 counters remaining in the original color, it confirms that Elaine's answer of -14 is correct.
