Eliana is playing a card game with her cousins. At the start of this turn, she had −12 points in the game. On this turn, she gets 7 points. Write an expression that shows how to find her current score

Answer 1

To represent Eliana's current score after getting 7 points, you can write the following expression:

\[ -12 + 7 \]

This expression takes her starting score of -12 points and adds the 7 points she earned during this turn. You can then evaluate this expression to find her current score:

\[ -12 + 7 = -5 \]

So, Eliana's current score after this turn is -5 points.
