In a video game, each player starts the game with k points and loses 2 points each time a task is not completed. if a player who gains no additional points and fails to complete 100 tasks has a score of 200 points, what is the value of k?

The value of k is 400 points.

If the player fails to complete 100 tasks, then they lost 200 points. At the end of the game, they had 200 points.

x - 200 = 200
x = 400

The answer is -pie over 2
