Question

Avni designs a game in which a player either wins or loses 4 points during each turn. Which equation

represents all numbers of points, p, a player may have after his or her first turn of the game?

O p = 4

O p = -4

O pl = 4

Op = -4

Answer 1

Equation to represent all number of points = |4|

Explanation:

We are told that a player either wins or loses 4 points during each turn. This means a player could either gain 4 points or loose 4 points. When writing this in Mathematical terms its means either -4 or +4.

Now, since possible number of turns is -4 or 4, then we can represent this with the absolute value symbol.

Thus, it's |4|
