Juan ran the lemonade stand for 3 more days. Each day, he used the money from sales to purchase more lemons, cups, and sugar to make more lemonade. On day 2, he earned $16 and spent $7 on supplies. On day 3, he earned $22 and spent $12. The expression 16 – 7 + 22 – 12 can be used to model the situation for these 2 days.

Responses

–16 + (–7) + (–22) + (–12)
–16 + (–7) + (–22) + (–12)

16 + (–7) + 22 + 12
16 + (–7) + 22 + 12

–16 + 7 + (–22) + 12
–16 + 7 + (–22) + 12

16 + (–7) + 22 + (–12)

Answer 1

To rewrite the expression \(16 - 7 + 22 - 12\) using the additive inverse, you replace subtraction with the addition of a negative number.

The expression can be rewritten as:

\[ 16 + (-7) + 22 + (-12) \]

So, the correct answer is:

16 + (–7) + 22 + (–12)
