Question

Dominic spent $8 on a book. He made $6 doing chores for a neighbor. What numbers represent the situations?

–8 and –6
–8 and 6
8 and –6
8 and 6

Answer 1

I am guessing it is -8 and 6

Explanation:

If Dominic spent $8 on a book, but only made $6, I believe it wil be -8, because he spent 8, and 6 because it's what he earned.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

-8 and 6
