Answer 1

Answer and explanation:

Not sure if the question is complete or valid but I will explain each option:

Let's assume the question asks which of the options would provide a negative result of -25( as no option evaluates to -255)

A. There would be a negative result here since all golfers have a negative score of -5 after 9 holes, and therefore a total score of -25 for all five golfers

B. Temperature increases by 25 degrees after 5 hours hence 5 degrees increase for every 1 hour. This would obviously give a positive result.

C. A football team gains 25 yards in the first play and loses 5 yards in the second but has a result of 5 yards gained in total. Hence there was a penalty of losing 20 yards for a loss of 5 yards= 25 yards- 20 yards= 5yards

D. Alyson withdraws $25 every week for 5 weeks, therefore she withdraws $125 in 5 weeks. This would be a negative result of -$125.
