Brandie lives on the twelfth floor of her apartment building. She walks down 2 flights to visit a friend, then up 3 flights to deliver a message to a neighbor. Which integer best represents the number of flights Brandie must walk to get back to her starting point? –12 –1 5 7
She walked down 2 flights, then up 3 flights. This would cause her to be 1 floor above her floor. So, she would have to walk down 1 flight (hence the negative in the -1) and she would be on her floor.
