Find Points
1. The problem describes a number line with points A, 4, and B in that order. There is a green arrow labeled "+5" pointing from A to 4 and a purple arrow labeled "+8" pointing from 4 to B.
2. The green arrow "+5" means that the distance from A to 4 is 5 units. Since 4 is to the right of A, we write:
$$4 - A = 5$$
3. Solve for A:
$$A = 4 - 5 = -1$$
4. The purple arrow "+8" means the distance from 4 to B is 8 units. Since B is to the right of 4:
$$B - 4 = 8$$
5. Solve for B:
$$B = 4 + 8 = 12$$
6. Therefore, the values replacing A and B on the number line are:
$$A = -1$$
$$B = 12$$
