Question 16
Given
Two golfers completed one round of golf.
The first golfer had a score of +6 and the second golfer had a score of -3.
To determine:
How many more shots did the first golfer take?
Explanation
Let 'n' be the number of shots taken by the first golfer
Since the first golfer had a score of +6 and the second golfer had a score of -3.
It means the 1st golfer must be 6 over par, and the 2nd golfer is still under 3.
Hence, we can map the situation using an equation
[tex]-3+n=6[/tex]
Adding -3 to both sides of the equation
[tex]-3+n+3 = 6+3[/tex]
[tex]n = 9[/tex]
Therefore, the 2nd golfer took 9 more shots.
