the interger-20 would best represent which of these two events

1 answer

To determine the integer -20 in the context of two events, we need to clarify the events being considered. In general, negative integers can represent losses, debts, or decreases in a value, while positive integers represent gains or increases.

Here are two hypothetical examples where -20 could apply:

  1. Financial Loss: If an individual lost $20 in a betting game, this would be represented by -20.
  2. Temperature Drop: If the temperature dropped by 20 degrees, you could represent the change as -20 if you're referring to the change in temperature rather than the actual temperature.

Please specify the two events you are considering to get a more accurate representation.
