Question

Diego scored 9 points less than 3 times the amount of points that Noah scored in the basketball game. If Noah scored 27 points, how many points did Diego score?

Answer 1

72

Step-by-step explanation:

"3 ttimes" Noah's points means that we will multiply 27x3, getting 81. We are not done yet. He had 9 points less, and 81-9=72. 72 is our answer.
