Question

In golf, suppose a player shot -5, +2, -3, and -2 in a four-row tournament. What was the player's final score?

Answer 1

1. Given that a player shot these points we can write an expression for the score:

$\begin{gathered} -5+2-3-2 \\ -5+2-5 \\ -10+2 \\ -8 \end{gathered}$

2) Therefore, we can tell the final score is -8
