Point B on the number line shows Benny's score after the first round of a quiz: A number line is shown from negative 10 to 0 to positive 10. There are increments of 1 on either side of the number line. The even numbers are labeled on either side of the number line. Point B is shown on 2. In round two, he lost 6 points. Which expression shows how many total points he has at the end of round two?

A) 2 + 4 = −6, because −6 is 4 units to the left of 2
B) 2 + (−4) = −6, because −6 is 4 units to the left of 2
C)2 + 6 = −4, because −4 is 6 units to the left of 2
D)2 + (−6) = −4, because −4 is 6 units to the left of 2

Answer:

the answer is D)2 + (−6) = −4, because −4 is 6 units to the left of 2

Explanation:

imagen a number line that at the left side of the end is -10 on right there's a +10 so first we start from 0 and move to the right side 2 times this is how much Benny's score after the first round but then the second round he lost 6 points so now you are going to start from 2 and jump 6 times but this time to the left then land on -4 so there for the answer is D)2 + (−6) = −4, because −4 is 6 units to the left of 2

hope this helps you happy holidays ^.^
