The value of x in the expression given is 72.

From the equation given, we can calculate the value of x thus :

  • (366+x)/6 = (585+x)/9

cross multiply

9(366 + x) = 6(585 + x)

3294 + 9x = 3510 + 6x

9x - 6x = 3510 - 3294

3x = 216

x = 216/3

x = 72

Hence, the value of x is 72

Complete Question:

A basketball team scored 366 points in 5 games. Another basketball team scored 585 points in 8. What is the value of x? A 65 B 73 C 61 D 72 games. Each team played one additional game, making the average number of points scored per game the same for both teams. The equation below can be used to find x, the number of points scores by each team in the additional game. (366+x)/6 = (585+x)/9 .
