Answer:
2) (b) -7
3) (b) 14
Step-by-step explanation:
2) The sum is found by adding the numbers together. Your calculator can help if you can't do it in your head. I usually find it easier to add the positive and negative numbers separately. Of course the 0 can be ignored.
18 + 0 -4 -12 +6 -15 = (18 +6) -(4 +12 +15) = 24 -31 = -7

3) Apparently, we are to assume that George's percentage will apply to the next 40 pitches. Then ...
(number missed)/(number thrown) = 35%
missed = (thrown)×0.35 = 40×0.35 = 14
George is expected to miss 14 of the 40 pitches.
