Question

Nikki is playing a trivia game. At the end of the first round she has 8 points. During the second round she loses 16 points . Which expressions represent the total number of points Nikki has at the end of the second round?

Answer 1

8 - 16 = p

Explanation:

P stands for the total amount of points after the second round. She earned 8 points, so the 8 is positive. Then, she lost 16 points. 16 is taken away from 8.

So, our equation is:

8 - 16 = p

Since the question asks for a equation, this should be your answer.

If you need the answer for how many total points, P = -8.

8 - 16 = -8

Answer 2

8-16 is the answer hope this helps!
