STEP 1

What is this asking? We need to find the equation that represents the jump shown on the number line! Watch out! Make sure you're moving in the right direction!
A jump to the *right* means we're *adding*, and a jump to the *left* means we're *subtracting*.

STEP 2

1. Find the starting point.
2. Find the jump size.
3. Find the landing point.
4. Write the equation.

STEP 3

Where does the arrow *begin*?
It starts at 28-28, so that's our **starting point**!

STEP 4

Let's count how many spaces the arrow jumps forward.
One, two, three, four!
The arrow moves **four** spaces to the *right*.
Since we are moving to the *right*, we are adding.
So our **jump size** is 44.

STEP 5

Where does the arrow *land*?
It lands on 24-24, so that's our **landing point**!

STEP 6

Our equation will look like this: Starting Point+Jump Size=Landing Point\text{Starting Point} + \text{Jump Size} = \text{Landing Point}

STEP 7

We know the **starting point** is 28-28, the **jump size** is 44, and the **landing point** is 24-24.
Let's plug those values into our equation: 28+4=24-28 + 4 = -24

STEP 8

28+4=24-28 + 4 = -24
