On a test, 1 point is given for each correct answer and 1 point is deducted for each incorrect answer. on the test harold answered 34 items correctly and 6 items incorrectly. what two numbers can be used to find harold's total score

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but here goes:

On Harold's test, he scores 34 points for his correct answers, and -6 points for incorrect answers. He would have gotten 28 points, but that's not the question.

34 is the first number, and I believe the next one is -6. 
6 is negative because 1 point is deducted for each incorrect answer, which also means 1 point is subtracted for every incorrect answer. Because the question is asking for numbers and not an equation or expression, the subtraction is expressed as a negative symbol, hence negative six.

Hope I helped!
