Answer:
A. 3x + (x+8) = -22 - 2x
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number equal x.
Set up the first half of the equation.
The sum of three times the number and 8 more than the number can be written as:
3x + (x+8)
Sum means that you add the components.
Set up the second half of the equation.
The difference between -22 and twice the number can be written as:
-22 - 2x
Difference means subtraction, and because -22 is written first, that is the number that you subtract <em>from</em>.
If you set the halves of the equation equal, you get:
3x + (x+8) = -22 - 2x
Therefore, the answer is A.

Answer: G
Explanation/Calculation:
You can clearly see that the white shapes are positive while the black shapes are negative. You can determine this because all (except F) claim that the 6 shapes are negative.
To make it easier, use elimination. It's definitely not J because you are not subtracting -6, but adding (as seen in the equation.) It is not F because 2(3)=6 when the equation needs -6.
So it is either G or H...
H claims that 12x+3+(-6) is what the model symbolizes; but this is incorrect. Unless x is a decimal, you can not have the large shape as the "purest" form (so to speak.) The "purest" state you can go in this model is a cube/square which=1.
Therefore, "G Jamey modeled 12 + 3x + (-6) and it is equivalent to 12x-3" is the correct answer.
Hope this helps you!
