First, we need to find the minimum score she needs to have a 12 point average.
She has already played 6 games, and will play 1 more.
12 x 7 = 84
We need to add her point totals from the previous 6 games together, then subtract that total from the minimum score.
10+12+10+8+14+15 = 69
84-69 = 15
Kelly needs to earn 15 points on the 7th game to get an average score of 12 points per game.
