To determine which number sentence represents the sum or difference shown by the figure, let's analyze the options provided.
-
6 + (-10) = -4: This sentence suggests that you are starting with 6 and then subtracting 10, which results in -4.
-
-10 + 6 = -4: This sentence suggests adding 6 to -10, which also results in -4.
-
6 – (-16) = -10: This suggests subtracting -16 from 6, which would actually result in 22 (since subtracting a negative is the same as adding).
-
6 + (-16) = -10: This suggests starting with 6 and then subtracting 16, which results in -10.
To identify the correct sentence, we need to know what the original figure indicates. If the figure reflects an operation resulting in -4 or -10, you would choose accordingly.
If the result shown was -4, either the first or second option could be correct. If the result was -10, the last option would be correct.
Based on the options without the figure, if we rely on standard interpretation:
-
For the result of -4: 6 + (-10) = -4 or -10 + 6 = -4 could both be valid.
-
For the result of -10, 6 + (-16) = -10 is correct.
Please confirm the result shown in the figure to identify the correct equation. If the figure shows -10, then the correct response would be 6 + (-16) = -10.
