Answer 1

                                             Question 16

Given that two golfers completed one round of golf.

It is stated that the first golfer had a score of +6 and the second golfer had a score of -3.

• Let suppose 'x' be the number of shots the first golfer took.

It is clear that the first golfer is 6 over par, while the second golfer is under 3.

Thus, the equation becomes:

$-3 + x = 6$

adding -3 to both sides

$-3+3+x = 6+3$

simplify

$x = 9$

Thus, the second golfer has taken 9 more shorts.

                                             Question 17

When we talk about credit, it means:

Credit = +

When we talk about debt, it means:

Debit = -

Thus,

Credit = +84

Debt = -29

Balance = 84 + (-29)

              = 84 - 29

               = 55

Thus, the balance is: 55
