In golf, each hole has a score called par, which is the
number of strokes a good golfer should take to get the
ball in the hole. Scores that are under par are repre-
sented by a negative number. The table shows the golf
scores from team members in a golf tournament. If the
team's total score is -32, what is Curran's score?

Rose -9
Garcia -15
Curran ?

Respuesta :

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r, g and c be the scores of, respectively, Rose, Garcia and Curran.

We know that

[tex]r + g + c = - 32 \\ r = - 9 \\ g = - 15[/tex]

Thus

[tex] - 9 - 15 + c = - 32 \\ - 24 + c = - 32 \\ c = - 8[/tex]
