Question

Point B on the number line shows Benny's score after the first round of a quiz: A number line is shown from negative 10 to 0 to positive 10. There are increments of 1 on either side of the number line. The even numbers are labeled on either side of the number line. Point B is shown on 2. In round two, he lost 6 points. Which expression shows how many total points he has at the end of round two?
A) 2 + 4 = −6, because −6 is 4 units to the left of 2
B) 2 + (−4) = −6, because −6 is 4 units to the left of 2
C)2 + 6 = −4, because −4 is 6 units to the left of 2
D)2 + (−6) = −4, because −4 is 6 units to the left of 2

Answer 1

D. 2 + (−6) = −4, because −4 is 6 units to the left of 2
