Question

Rebecca is playing a video game that involves planting and cutting down trees. She moves up an energy level for each tree she plants, and she moves down a level for each tree she cuts. If Rebecca reaches energy level 10, she will earn bonus points. Rebecca is currently at energy level 4. The results of her next 3 turns are: Turn 1: 6 trees cut Turn 2: 8 trees planted Turn 3: 1 tree cut
USING ONLY ADDITION, write an expression that represents Rebecca's score after these three turns. (Remember that she starts at an energy level of 4.)

Answer 1

Answer:

she ends at level 5 after her 3 turns

Explanation:

Rebecca starts at level 4 if she cuts down 6 trees for her next turn she loses 6 levels we can rewrite this as -6 so 4 + (-6) = -2 her next turn is planting 8 trees so she goes up 8 levels -2 + 8 = 6 her last turn she cuts down one tree

6 + (-1) = 5

altogether 4 + (-6) + 8 + (-1) = 5
