Question

Jared was trying to win a trivia game. His score towards the end was -14. He needs to get a score of 15 to win the game. How many points does he need to earn in order to win?

Answer 1

Answer:

29 more points

Step-by-step explanation:

We basically need to find, what's the distance from -14 to 15.

We know that from -14 to 0 is 14 points, and from 0 to 15 is 15 points.

So in total we travelled $15+14=29$ points.

Hope this helped!
