The sum of the points each person wins and loses tells you who won the game. Bart earned 123 points but lost 180 points, so his total is -57. Sam earned 185 points but lost 255 points, so his total is -70. Bart won the game.

Answer: Bart won the game.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of points Bart earned =123

Number of points Bart lost =(-) 180

( lost points as represented by negative integers )

So, his net points are given by

[tex]123-180\\=(-)57[/tex]

Similarly,

Number of points Sam earned = 185

Number of points Sam lost = (-)255

( lost points as represented by negative integers )

So, his net points are given by

[tex]185-255\\=(-)70[/tex]

Since we know that  in case of negative integers ,

[tex]-57>-70[/tex]

i.e

(-)57 is greater than (-)70

So, Bart won the game .
