Question

Morten Andersen played in NFL for 25 years write and solve an equation to find how many points he averaged each year

Answer 1

Answer:

$r =\frac{2437points}{25 years} =97.45 \frac{points}{year}$

So then we have that Morten Andersen scored on average 97.45 points per year in his career.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the following table on the figure attached.

We see that the career points for Morten Andersen was 2437. That include all the points over alll the years the he played in the NFL.

Since the total years played by Morten Andersen was 25 we can write the following equation:

$25 r =2437$

Where $r$ represent the rate of points average per year.

If we solve for r from the last equation we can divide both sides of the equation and we got:

$r =\frac{2437points}{25 years} =97.45 \frac{points}{year}$

So then we have that Morten Andersen scored on average 97.45 points per year in his career.
