Michelle's game piece starts on the number 58. She uses cards that indicate movements of +2 , +30 , and +2 to indicate her moves across the game board. To determine where she lands, we can write an equation representing these moves:
Starting Position + Move 1 + Move 2 + Move 3 = Ending Position
58 + 2 + 30 + 2 = Ending Position
Calculating these moves step-by-step:

58 + 2 = 60 (after the first move)
60 + 30 = 90 (after the second move)
90 + 2 = 92 (after the third move)

Therefore, Michelle's game piece lands on the number 92.

Michelle starts on 58 and makes three moves using her cards. She adds the values from the cards (+2, +30, +2) sequentially to her starting position. After completing her moves, she lands on 92.
