Final answer:

To find Brad's overall score after two rounds, add his first round score of 18 points to his second round score of -7 points, resulting in an overall score of 11 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks about calculating the overall score Brad achieved after playing two rounds of a game, where he scored 18 points in the first round and -7 points in the second round.

To calculate Brad’s overall score, we simply need to add the scores from each round together:

  • First round score: 18 points
  • Second round score: -7 points
  • Overall score: 18 + (-7) = 11 points

The negative sign in front of the 7 points means that Brad lost 7 points in the second round, so we subtract 7 from his first round score.

Therefore, Brad's overall score after two rounds is 11 points.
