Answer:Let's denote the total number of points Javier scored in the two games as
�
J. According to the information given, Javier scored
3
5
5
3
of the total points for his team.
In the first game, the team scored 50 points, and in the second game, they scored 45 points. Therefore, the total number of points for the team in the two games is
50
+
45
=
95
50+45=95.
Now, we can set up an equation based on the proportion of points Javier scored:
