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.

Respuesta :

6

Explanation

Step 1

Let x represents the score of the first day

total score=0

score of the second day=-6

then

Total score= score of the first day+score of the second day

replacing

[tex]\begin{gathered} 0=x+(-6) \\ 0=x-6\text{ Equation} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Step 2

solve the equation

[tex]\begin{gathered} 0=x-6 \\ \text{add 6 in both sides} \\ 0+6=x-6+6 \\ 6=x \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the score of the first day is 6

I hope this helps you
