Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we call the points she scored in the last game x, we can actually write out an equation to describe what is being said. 20=11+(3/5)x. Hopefully that makes sense. 3/5 of the previous score plus 11 is 20. Anyway, you can just solve this algebraic expression for x.

20=11+(3/5)x subtract 11 from both sides

9 = 3/5 x Multiply both sides by 5

45 = 3x then divide both sides by 3

15 = x And there you go.
