In the *Treasure,* *Treasure!* video game, players gain and lose points by finding and losing treasure. In Level 2, Leslie earned 

–

22

 points when a storm blew a treasure chest off her ship. Then, she earned 34 points for finding more treasure on a deserted island.

What is the overall change in Leslie's score during level 2?

To find the overall change in Leslie's score during Level 2, we need to add the points she gained and lost.

1. Leslie lost \( -22 \) points when the storm blew a treasure chest off her ship.
2. She then gained 34 points for finding more treasure on a deserted island.

The overall change in her score can be calculated as:

\[
\text{Overall change in score} = \text{Points gained} + \text{Points lost}
\]

Substituting the given values:

\[
\text{Overall change in score} = 34 + (-22)
\]

Adding a negative number is equivalent to subtracting:

\[
\text{Overall change in score} = 34 - 22 = 12
\]

So, Leslie's score increased by \(12\) points during Level 2.

7. How would her score change if she lost another 12 points after gaining the 34 points?
8. What is the significance of positive and negative points in terms of game strategy?

**Tip:** When combining positive and negative numbers, remember that adding a negative is like subtracting the positive version of that number.
