Answer:

$x=-10$

First, use distribution to simplify

$2(x+3)=x-4\\2x+6=x-4$

Then, simplify further by combining like terms

$2x+6=x-4\\2x+10=x\\10=-1x$

Solve

$10=-1x\\x=-10\\$

Let $p$ represents the number of points scored in $n$ number of games.

So, the graph, the number of games, n is on the horizontal axis and the points scored, p, is on the vertical axis.

After Game 1, the point scored is 14,

so, the first point, $P_1$ , on the graph is

$P_1=(1,14)$

After Game 5, the point scored is 82,

so, the second point, $P_2$ , on the graph is

$P_2=(5,82).$

After Game 10, the point scored is 129,

so, the second point, $P_2$ , on the graph is

$P_2=(10,129)$

First, represent all the three points, $P_1, P_2$ and $P_3$ , on the graph, then connect $P_1- P_2$ and $P_2 - P_3$ as shown in the figure.
