Point K on the number line shows Kelvin's score after the first round of a quiz: In round 2, he lost 9 points. Which expression shows how many total points he has at the end of round 2? 3 + (−6) = −9, because −9 is 6 units to the left of 3 3 + 6 = −9, because −9 is 6 units to the left of 3 3 + (−9) = −6, because −6 is 9 units to the left of 3 3 + 9 = −6, because −6 is 9 units to the left of 3

Complete question :

Point K on the number line shows Kelvin's score after the first round of a quiz: A number line is shown from negative 10 to 0 to positive 10. There are increments of 1 on either side of the number line. The even numbers are labeled on either side of the number line. Point K is shown on 3. In round 2, he lost 9 points. Which expression shows how many total points he has at the end of round 2? 3 + (−6) = −9, because −9 is 6 units to the left of 3 3 + 6 = −9, because −9 is 6 units to the left of 3 3 + (−9) = −6, because −6 is 9 units to the left of 3 3 + 9 = −6, because −6 is 9 units to the left of 3

Answer: 3 + (−9) = −6, because −6 is 9 units to the left of 3

Explanation:

Given the following :

Width of number line = - 10 to + 10

Point K on the number line = +3 ( kelvin's score after the first round of quiz).

If Kelvin losses 9 points in round 2 = - 9

Hence at the end of round 2, He'll have a total of :

Point at the end of round 1 + point lost in round 2

3 + (-9) = - 6

Point K on the number line shows Kelvin's score after the first round of a quiz: In-example-1
