Question

HELP ME PLEASE LIKE PLEASE I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS MATH

Answer 1

Given that:

- A race car game takes 6 points each time the player hits a cone.

- You must find the integer that represents the change in total points if the player hits 10 cones.

It is important to remember that the Set of Integers contains the negative numbers, the positive numbers, and zero.

Then, by analyzing the data given in the exercise, you can identify two integers that must be multiplied, in order to calculate the total points if the player hits 10 cones. These are:

$\begin{gathered} 10\text{ } \\ -6 \end{gathered}$

Since the game takes 6 points from the player each time this hits a cone, the integer that represents the points taken from the player must be negative.

In order to multiply the integers, you need to remember the Sign Rules for Multiplication:

$\begin{gathered} +\cdot+=+ \\ -\cdot-=+ \\ +\cdot-=- \\ -\cdot+=- \end{gathered}$

Therefore, you get this result:

$(10)(-6)=-60$

Hence, the answer is:
