(+x)+(+3x)= ? (+x)+(+3x)=\text{ ?} (+x)+(+3x)= ?
First let's remember the rule:
+(+x)=+x +(+x)=+x +(+x)=+x
Now let's write the exercise in the following way:
x+3x= x+3x= x+3x=
We'll can then add x x x to the number line values and move 3 steps to the right:
2X2X2X3X3X3X4X4X4X1X1X1X
Therefore, the solution is:
x+3x=4x x+3x=4x x+3x=4x
4x 4x 4x
