Given data:

The numbers of points scored in 4 games are 42.

The expression for the given statement is,


\begin{gathered} 4\text{ games= 42 points} \\ 1\text{ game = 10.5 points} \end{gathered}

Multiply the above expression by 18 on both sides.


\begin{gathered} 18(1\text{ game) =18(10.5 points)} \\ 18\text{ games =189 points} \end{gathered}

Thus, in 18 games 189 points achieved.
