Question

your score is 12 points less than your friends score. if your friends score is 25, what is your score

Answer 1

13 points

Explanation:

This can be rewritten as

25 - x = 12

- 25 -25

-x = -13

Multiple both sides by -1

x = 13

Since x is the number of points you have, you would have 13 points.

A simpler equation would be

Your score = 25 - 12

Your score = 13
