His mistake was adding 12+2 when he was supposed to subtract.
Let n be the sum of all 6 numbers:
In the 1st case n/6 = 41 ==> n =246
in the 2nd case n'/5 = 46===> n' =230, the unknown number is n-n' =246-230
= 16
Answer:
24 games
Step-by-step explanation:
7 to enter
0.5 per game
19 dollars spent
19 = 7 + 0.5x
19 - 7 = 0.5x
12 = 0.5x
x = 12/0.5
x = 24
2p+6a=$14
3p+9a=$21
3p+9a=21
Subtract 9a
3p=21-9a
divide all by 3
p=7-3a
plug it into start equations
2p+6a=14
2(7-3a)+6a=14
14-6a....+6a=14
this zeroes out...
