so it the answer 6? pls help me
Yes, 6.
thank you
You're welcome.
To solve this problem, let's define a variable to represent Jess's score on the first day. Let's call it "x".
According to the given information, Jess's score on the second day was -6. The total score for both days was 0. This means that the sum of Jess's scores on both days should be equal to 0.
So, we can write the equation:
x + (-6) = 0
Now, let's solve this equation.
Adding 6 to both sides of the equation, we get:
x = 6
Therefore, Jess's score on the first day was indeed 6.
