Question

Andrew and Emily are playing a word game. For each correct answer, they earn 10 points, and for each incorrect answer, they lose 5 points. At the end of the game, Andrew has 55 points and Emily has -10 points. How many more points does Andrew have then Emily has ?

Answer 1

65 more points because if she has -10 instead of subtracting 55-10 you would add because that’s 10+ more Andrew is ahead

Answer 2

You can use a number line, or absolute value. I don't know how else to explain.
