I NEED HELPPPP

(12 PTS!)

The most points Sidney has scored in a basketball game is 28. She is trying to tie that record in her current game.

Write an equation for the number of points Sidney needs to score to tie her record, r, if she has already scored p points.

Answer:

r = 28 - p

Step-by-step explanation: The most points Sidney has scored in a basketball game is 28.

She is trying to tie that record in her current game.

Let r be the number of points needs to score

p is the points she scored already

Total record in basket ball game = 28

points needs to score + scored already = total record

So equation becomes p + r = 28

Subtract p on both sides

I’m sorry this is all I can say! So she has 28 points. But what do we really have to record?
