To determine Curran's score, we need to understand how the golf team's total score is calculated and then use this information to find Curran's score.
1. Identify the individual scores:
- Rose's score: -9
- Garcia's score: -15
2. Identify the team's total score:
- The team's total score: -32
3. Set up an equation to represent the situation:
- Let [tex]\( C \)[/tex] represent Curran's score.
- The equation to represent the total score becomes:
[tex]\[
\text{Rose's score} + \text{Garcia's score} + \text{Curran's score} = \text{Team's total score}
\][/tex]
- Substituting the known values:
[tex]\[
-9 + -15 + C = -32
\][/tex]
4. Simplify the terms involving Rose and Garcia:
[tex]\[
-9 + -15 = -24
\][/tex]
This equation now becomes:
[tex]\[
-24 + C = -32
\][/tex]
5. Solve for Curran's score [tex]\( C \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
C = -32 - (-24)
\][/tex]
Simplifying this further:
[tex]\[
C = -32 + 24
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
C = -8
\][/tex]
6. Conclusion:
Curran's score is [tex]\(-8\)[/tex].
