Question

Kiran scored 223 fewer points in a computer game than Tyler. Kiran scored 409 points. Which equation would Kiran use to determine how many points, t, Tyler scored?

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation is:

$409 = T - 223$

And the solution is:

$T = 632$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent Kiran with K and Tyler with T

Kiran score is represented as:

$K = 409$

Also, Kiran scored 223 less than Tyler.

This is represented as:

$K = T - 223$

Substitute 409 for K

$409 = T - 223$

Make T the subject

$T = 409 +223$

$T = 632$
