Sue scored a total of 35 points in two games she scored 6 times as many points in the second game as in the first how many more points did she score in the second game
Lets make an equation: [tex]x+6x=35[/tex] where x=amount of points scored in the first game Add up all the x's and you get [tex]7x=35[/tex] Solve for x [tex]7x/7=35/7[/tex] [tex]x=5[/tex] The question asks the score for the second game and the score for the second game is 6 times as much as the first Therefore, we know that in the equation [tex]x+6x=35[/tex] that 6x is the second equation "Plug" in "x" for 6x where [tex]x=5[/tex] [tex]6*5=30[/tex] Sue scored 30 points in the second game
