A tutor is demonstrating the 'take-away' model with counters to solve the subtraction problem $-7 - (-4)$. Match each stage of the process with its corresponding action.

In a corporate accounting workshop, trainers use red tokens as negative counters to represent debts and liabilities. To demonstrate the subtraction problem $-7 - (-4)$ using the take-away model, which sequence of actions should a trainee recall?

In an inventory management simulation, a manager uses negative counters to represent backordered items. To model the subtraction $-7 - (-4)$ (representing the removal of 4 backordered units from an initial 7) using the 'take-away' method, arrange the following steps in the correct chronological order.

Applying the Take-Away Model to Inventory Shortages

In a corporate safety training, red tokens represent negative values (violations). To demonstrate the subtraction expression $-7 - (-4)$ using the 'take-away' model, a trainee starts with 7 red tokens and then removes ____ red tokens.
