Question

B. Shawn has 42 points on his computer game. He loses the

next round though which takes away 50 points. How
many total points does Shawn now have?

Answer 1

-8

Explanation:

42-50 is the same as 50-42, except the answer is negative

Answer 2

Answer: -8 points

Step-by-step explanation: because he lost 50, and he originally had 42, a smaller number, the answer will go into the negatives.

42-50= -8, which is how you get the answer!
