Question

Kevin is playing a game at the state fair. For each ball he can toss into a jar, he gets -2 points. To win a stuffed animal, he must earn a score of -24 or less. How many times does he have to toss a ball into a jar?

Answer 1

First you have to divide 2 and 24 how many times 2 can go into 24 witch is 12 times

Answer 2

To solve this, find the number of balls (b) times -2 to equal -24 or less. b×-2(less than it equal to sign)-24. Solve for b.
