56 + x = 72 <== ur equation

Answer 2

Answer: Required equation will be 'x+56=72'.

And Number of more points the players needs to tie the record is 16.

Explanation:

Let the number of points the player needs to tie the record be 'x'.

Number of points a basketball player has already scored = 56

Number of points the team record in a game = 72

According to question, we have

`x+56=72`

So, we will solve for 'x'.

`x+56=72\\\\x=72-56\\\\x=16`

Hence, required equation will be 'x+56=72'.

And Number of more points the players needs to tie the record is 16.
