Question

The most points Sidney has scored in a basket ball game is 28 she is trying to tie that record in her current game write an equation for the number of points Sidney needs to score to tie her record r if she has already scored p points

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given:

Most points scored = 8 points

Number of points needed to tie her record = r points

Points scored currently = p points

Since r be the number of points needed to tie her record

Total number of points = points scored + pints needed to tie the total points

28 = p + x

r = 28 - p

Answer 2

Answer: r = 28-p

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

• Sidney's record: 28 points
• Points needed to score: r
• Points already scored: p

So, his record is equal to the points scored plus the points needed to score:

28 = r+p

Isolating r:

r = 28-p
