Question

Cameron is playing 9 holes of golf. He needs to score a total of at most 10 over par on the last four holes to beat his best golf score. On the last four holes, he scores 5 over par, 3 under par, 6 over par, and 3 under par. Part 1 out of 3 Enter and find the value of an expression that gives Cameron's score for 4 holes of golf. WHAT IS THE EXPRESSION AND WHAT IS HIS SCORE

Answer 1

To find the expression, take the numbers over par as positives and the numbers under pair as negatives, so you can write this expression:

15 + (-3) + 6 + (-3) =

That is the expression.

To find the result you group the positives and group the negatives:

Positives: 15 + 6 = 21

Negatives: 3 + 3 = 6

Now subtract the total negative from the total positive

21 - 6 = 15.

So, he got 15 over par in the last four holes.

Given that he need at most 10 you know he couldn't beat his best score.

He score 15 - 10 = 5 over what he needed.
