Question

Eunique scores 20 points during the game. This is eleven more than three-fifths of the points she scored in previous game. How many points Eunique score in previous game?

Answer 1

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.
