The first three responses involve the sum \(-22 + 9\) and are related to situations where a negative value represents a deficit or a loss, while the last response involves only positive numbers.
The best real-world problem that could be solved with the sum \(-22 + 9\) is either of the following:
1. **Quinn is playing a card game with his friends. He had -22 points at the start of his turn, but just got 9 points. How many points does he now have?**
2. **The temperature was −22°F yesterday. Today the temperature is 9°F. How much warmer is it today compared with yesterday?**
Both of these options directly involve the calculation of a negative value being increased by a positive value.
So, the first option about Quinn's points or the temperature situation are both appropriate interpretations of the problem represented by \(-22 + 9\).
However, if you need to select one, either of the two first ones would suffice.
