Question

Which equation represents the model shown below

Answer 1

Answer:

-4x - 3 = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

On our left, we have -x in 4 places = 4(-x) = -4x

And on the left, we also have -1 in 3 places = 3(-1) = -3

Altogether in our left, we have: -4x +(-3)

That is: -4x - 3

On our right, we have -1 in 8 places, which is 8(-1) = -8

Therefore, the equation that represents the model would be:

-4x - 3 = -8
