florence is playing the myth monsters video game, where players gain and lose points in battle. at the beginning of the second level she had 38 points, but she soon got -12 points for losing a battle. what is florences score now? points

Answer

# Explanation: ## Step1: Identify initial and change in points Initial points = 38, change = - 12. ## Step2: Calculate current score Current score = Initial points+change = 38+( - 12). Since adding a negative number is the same as subtracting the positive of that number, 38+( - 12)=38 - 12. 38 - 12 = 26. # Answer: 26
