Question

In a trivia game your team has -6 points. The other team has 15 points. What is the difference in points between the two teams

Answer 1

The difference is 21. Whenever you have the word difference, it means subtraction. You subtract -6 from 15. The equation would look like this, 15 - - 6. Then you two negatives into a positive to get 15+6. This would equal 21.

Answer 2

15 - -6 = 21. 21 points!
