Answer 2

Answer: The first golfer score 9 points more.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of score scored by the first golfer = +6

Number of score scored by the second golfer = -3

We need to find the number of more shots that the first golfer take.

For this, we will find the difference between them:

Scores of first golfer - Scores of second golfer

`6-(-3)\\\\=6+3\\\\=9`

Hence, the first golfer score 9 points more.
