Sonya plays a game where she moves forward or backward on a game board. Positive numbers represent forward moves. Negative numbers represent backwards moves. Which statement is the most likely explanation of what 4(-3) means in this context?

This means sonya moves 3 units backward 4 times

Step-by-step explanation:

4(-3) ;

4 represents the number of times a (-3) movement is executed.

-3 means a backward movement due to the presence of negative sign.

Hence, we can conclude that Sonya moves 3 units backward 4 times or can infer a direct multiplication of 4(-3) = - 12 ;

A backward movement of - 12 units.

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.

solving with completing the square

-1/2 +2
