" x/ 50 = 78/100 " ; in which "x" equals the number of points needed.
_______________________________________________________
To solve for "x" ;
_______________________________________________________
Look at the denominators: 50 * (what value?) = 100.
→ "100 ÷ 50 = 2" .
→ So; "50 * 2 = 100" ;
So, let us look at the numerators:
x * 2 = 78 ;
↔ 2x = 72 ;
Divide each side of the equation by "2" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation ; and to solve for "x" ;
_____________________________________________
→ 78 ÷ 2 = 39 ;
The answer is: "39 points" .

When you graph the three lines, the first two overlap. The third is parallel to those two.
(2x-3)(5x-1). I Think that is the answer.
