Tucker is learning to play the video game Alien Attack. In the game, players need to outsmart the aliens who have landed on Earth. Tucker had –50 points. Then, he earned –35 points when he was captured by the aliens.

Question

How many total points does Tucker have now?

Answer 1

To find out how many total points Tucker has now, we need to add his initial points to the points he earned after being captured.

Tucker had –50 points, and then he earned –35 points when he was captured by the aliens.

So we calculate:

\[ -50 + (-35) = -50 - 35 = -85 \]

Therefore, Tucker now has a total of –85 points.
