Question

in the integer game what card would you need to draw to get a score of 0 if you have -16 -35 and 18 in your hand

Answer 1

Cards: -16,-35,18

We have to add the value of the cards and the value of the unknown card (x) , and that expression must be equal to zero.

(-16)+(-35)+18+x = 0

Solve for x:

-16-35+18+x =0

Combine like terms:

-33+x=0

Add 33 to both sides of the equation:

-33+x+33 =0+33

x=33
