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

The equation is:

`409 = T - 223`

And the solution is:

`T = 632`

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`
