Answer: 70
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let x represent the score on the 1st round.
Then x + 2 is the score on the 2nd round
And (x + 2) + 2 is the score on the 3rd round.
The total of the 3 rounds is 216.
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 216
3x + 6 = 216
3x = 210
x = 70
1st round score (x): 70
2nd round score (x + 2): 72
3rd round score (x + 4): 74
the first round he scored 70 shots

There is a formula for adding consecutive numbers:
total = n*(n+1)/2
total = 80*(81)/2
total = 3,240
Step by step 6-6x^2 -5
1-6x^2
Answer:
Let the Number be n
(5×n) - 7 = -52
So we now find for n
5n - 7 = -52
5n = -52 + 7
5n = -45
n = -45/5
n = -9
So the Number is -9
10x=1.1...
x=0.1...
Then subtract the two equations from each other:
9x=1
Solve for x:
x=1/9
