Question

Lexi, Susie, and Rial are playing an online word game. Rial scores 100,034 points. Lexi scores 9,348 fewer points than Rial and Susie scores 9,749 more points than Lexi. What is Susie's score? Show your work.

Answer 1

Okay so you gotta do Rial's score, which is 100,034 minus how much less Lexi's score is, 9,348  and that equals Lexi's score which is 90,686. So your first equation is 
100,034 - 9,348 = 90,686
then you have to add 9,749 to Lexi's score of 90,686. 
So Susie's score is 100,435
Hope this helps!
