Question

16. basketball the average number of points a basketball team scored for three games was 63 points. in the first two games, they scored the same number of points, which was 6 points more than they scored in solve an equation to find the number of points the team scored in each game.

Answer 1

The number of points the team scored in each game are 23, 23 and 17 points respectively.

Equation

There are three basic types of equation in mathematics. Namely:

• Linear equations

• Quadratic equations

• Simultaneous equations

Total points scored = 63 points

First game = (x + 6) points

Second game = (x + 6) points

Third game = x points

63 = x + (x + 6) + (x + 6)

63 = x + x + 6 + x + 6

63 = 3x + 12

63 - 12 = 3x

51 = 3x

x = 51/3

x = 17

Therefore,

First game = (x + 6) points

= (17 + 6)

= 23 points

Second game = (x + 6) points

= (17 + 6)

= 23 points

Third game = x points

= 17 points
