Question

25.)Jesse played two days of golf. On the second day, he got a score of 2 below par, or –2. His total score for the two days was 8 below par, or –8. Define a variable. Then write and solve an equation to find the score Jesse got on his first day

Answer 1

x is the amount he got on his first day, -8 = x + (-2)

-8 = x + (-2)
-8 + 2 = x + (-2) + 2
-6 = x

He scored -6 points below par on his first day

Answer 2

the equation would be -2+x= -8
