Problem 98
Question
Will help you prepare for the material covered in the next section. In each exercise, write an integer that is the result of the given situation. You lose \(\$ 50\) and then you misplace \(\$ 10\).
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The result of the situation is a loss of $60.
1Step 1: Translate the Situation into Mathematical Expression
The loss of $50 is represented as -50 and the misplacement of $10 represented as -10. Therefore, the total loss is given by the equation -50 + -10.
2Step 2: Addition
Next, add the two integers together. This will give the total amount of money that was lost.
3Step 3: Result
After adding the two integers, you get -60 which represents a loss of $60.
