Liliana and Marcus are playing a word game. Liliana spells a word incorrectly and loses 18 points. Then Marcus spells a word correctly and has the opposite score. Which is the correct way to represent “the opposite of Liliana’s score is equal to Marcus’s score”?

Question

Negative 18 = 18
Negative (negative 18) = negative 18
Negative (18) = negative 18
Negative (negative 18) = 18

Answer 1

To represent the statement "the opposite of Liliana’s score is equal to Marcus’s score," we need to find the opposite (or negative) of Liliana's score, which is -18. The opposite of -18 is 18.

So, the correct representation of this statement would be: Negative (negative 18) = 18

Thus, the answer is: Negative (negative 18) = 18.
