Question

Help please!? I've been on this for awhile now, and i still have no idea what to do.

Jesse played two days of golf. On the second day, he got a score of 6 below par, or -6. His total score for the two days was 0 above par, or 0. Define a variable. Then write and solve an equation to find the score Jesse got on the first day. Show your work.

Answer 1

well 6-6 is exactly 0, so he scored a 0 on the last hole

Answer 2

x = Jesse's score on the first day
so the equation would be
x + (-6) = 0
