Answer 1

The best real-world example that could be solved with the sum -22 + 9 is:

**The temperature was -22°F yesterday. Today the temperature is 9°F. How much warmer is it today compared with yesterday?**

In this scenario, you can represent the temperature on a number line, where -22 represents a temperature below zero (cold) and 9 represents a temperature above zero (warm). Adding the two values (-22 + 9) gives you the difference in temperature, which represents how much warmer it is today compared to yesterday.

Answer 2

it says its wrong

Answer 3

I apologize for any confusion. Let’s re-evaluate the options:

1. **Quinn is playing a card game with his friends. He has -22 points at the start of his turn but just earned 9 points. How many points does he now have?**
- This can be solved with the equation -22 + 9, as it directly represents Quinn’s points after earning points.

2. **A scuba diver is 22 feet below sea level. Their friend is standing on a dividing board 9 feet above sea level. What is the vertical distance between the scuba diver and their friend?**
- This scenario deals with calculating vertical distances and involves considering both depths (but doesn’t directly lead to the sum -22 + 9).

3. **The temperature was -22°F yesterday. Today the temperature is 9°F. How much warmer is it today compared with yesterday?**
- While this question also involves temperature differences, it is not directly the sum of -22 + 9 leading to a singular calculation for warmth.

4. **Layla earned $22 babysitting last weekend. Today she received $9 from her grandmother. How much money does she have altogether?**
- This question involves positive amounts and does not pertain to the negative sum.

Given this, the real-world example that directly uses the sum -22 + 9 is the first option: **Quinn is playing a card game with his friends. He has -22 points at the start of his turn but just earned 9 points. How many points does he now have?**

This option straightforwardly presents the equation -22 + 9. If it’s still seen as incorrect in your context, please verify the question’s intended interpretation or ask for clarification regarding the answer choices.
