Question

Elena is playing a card game with her cousins at the start of the turn. She had -12 points in the game on this. She gets seven points right an expression that shows how to find her current score.

Answer 1

To find Elena's current score after gaining seven points, you can create an expression that combines her initial score with the points she gained.

Elena's initial score is -12 points. If she gains 7 points, the expression to calculate her current score would be:

\[
\text{Current Score} = -12 + 7
\]

You can simplify this to find her current score:

\[
\text{Current Score} = -12 + 7 = -5
\]

So, Elena's current score is -5 points.
