Answer 1

12-(-3)= 12+3=15, so the difference is 15 points

Answer 2

15.

Explanation:

We have been given that You and some friends go miniature golfing. Your score is 3 below par. One of your friends has a score that is 12 over par. We are asked to find the difference between your two scores.

Since par is 0, so 3 below par would be
`0-3=-3` and 12 above par would be
`0+12=12`.

The difference between two scores would be
`12--3=12+3=15`.

Therefore, the difference of both scores is 15.
