<span>Two teams are playing basketball. Team 1 scored 3.5 times the number of points per basket. Team 2 scored 8 times the number of points per basket. They would've each scored the same amount of points if Team 1 had scored 54 more points.
Solve:
54+3.5x=8x :Write out the equation
-3.5x -3.5x :Subtract 3.5x from both sides to isolate the variable
54=4.5x :Simplify
/4.5 /4.5 :Divide by 4.5 on both sides
12=x :Answer=12
Next you would find each team's score:
8x= 8(12)= 96 :substitute and solve
Each team score is 96 points
(Note: Since each team score was equal, you don't have to solve for each team, just one and preferably the easier one, and that is the score that each team scored.) </span>

Answer:

If we have a problem,

In a school there are 125 girls which is 25 less than 3 times of the number of boys how many boys are there ?

Let x be the number of boys,

So, the number of girls = 3 × number of boys - 25

= 3x - 25,

∵ Number of girls = 125

⇒ 3x - 25 = 125

Hence, the above real word problem could be solved by the given equation.

let's firstly, convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction, and then subtract.


\bf \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{3}{4}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 4+3}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{11}{4}}&#10;\\\\[-0.35em]&#10;\rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\&#10;\cfrac{11}{4}-\cfrac{2}{3}\implies \stackrel{\textit{our LCD will be 12}}{\cfrac{(3)11-(4)2}{12}}\implies \cfrac{33-8}{12}\implies \cfrac{25}{12}\implies 2\frac{1}{12}
