Answer 1

Word Problem

Given:

1. She scored –50 points for the first spin.
2. She scored 90 points for the second spin.

To Find:

    Her total score after the two spins.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Let her total score be x.
• At the beginning her score in a game of spinning wheel was zero.
• x = 0
• She scored –50 points for the first spin.
• x = 0 - 50
• x  = -50
• She scored 90 points for the second spin.
• As, x was -50 because of last spin, we'll modify that score by adding 90 to it.
• x = -50 +90
• x = 40

hence, 40 would be her total score after the two spins.

40 is the answer
