2,2 is correct. You’re just moving it over so you don’t really have to do anything fancy.
Lets call a to the Alonzo amount of points and m to the Miguel amount of points and write equations out of the problem's info:
a + m = 54
m = a + 4
rearrange:
<span> a + m = 54
</span>-a + m = 4
add the two equations:
<span> a + m = 54
</span><span>-a + m = 4
</span>-----------------
0 + 2m = 58
m = 29
and susbstitute in the first equation:
<span>a + m = 54
</span>a + 29 = 54
a = 54 - 29
a = 25
therefore Alonzo scores 25 points and Mike 29
- You buy a bunch of 12 bananas and pay $6 and want to know how much each banana costs.
- You pull into a gas station where the gas is $2.50 a gallon. You want to know how much you would need to fill up your 35 gallon tank.

To convert a mixed fraction into an improper fraction, we must follow some steps.
First, we take the whole part and multiply it by the denominator of the fraction.
In this case, we take 2 and multiply it by 8.
Now we add the numerator:
16+3=19
The denominator stays the same:
Hope it helps! :)
