Answer:
Ben and Susan will be 340 miles apart
Step by Step Solution
Step 1: We plot the problem on a graph to visualize the problem
Step 2: We notice that the problem creates a right triangle with the distance Ben and Susan travel as the legs of the right triangle
Step 3: We can use the Pythagorean Theorem: a²+b²=c² to solve the distance between Ben and Susan
Step 4: We enter the numbers into the formula
a² + b² = c²
300² + 160² = c²
90000 + 25600 = c²
115600 = c² *square root both sides
c = 340
Therefore Ben and Susan are 340 miles apart
Givens
Start = S = - 700
# Correct = C = 8
Value Correct = VC = 400
# Incorrect =I = 9
Value Incorrect =VI = - 600
Equation
Score = S + C*VC + I*VI Substitute
Solve
Score = -700 + 8*400 + 9(-600)
Score = -700 + 3200 - 5400
Score = - 700 - 2200
Score = - 2900 <<<<< Answer
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
1. -2 + 15 = 13
If the temperature is -2 and it rises 15 degrees, the new temperature is 13 degrees.
2. The temperature rose 15 degrees
-6 + 9 = 15
820/42=19 11/21
