In a board game, players lose 50 points every time they land on a red space. if there is no other way to lose points and jamie has a score of -450 points, what is the minimum number of times he could have landed on a red space?

Since players are losing points every time they land on a red space, it is -50,
Here's our equation where c equals the amount of times.
-50C=-450
We need C by itself, we need to divide.
-450÷-50=9
Since there is no other way to lose points, we don't have to worry about the slope in this equation. But, there might be a way to gain points. We have it set at 0 assuming that Jamie did not score any points. This allows us to get the minimum times her could have landed.
The minimum number of times he could have landed on a red space is 9 times.

It is the top one. the answer is -7. that is smallest
