Hello! 1,000 points are needed to go to a water park, and 424 points are already added, with 9 more games. An equation that would help find the average number of points is 9x + 424 = 1,000.
How to solve it:
Okay. So first off, lets subtract 424 from both sides. 424 - 424 cancels out. 1,000 - 424 is 576. That makes 9x = 576. Now, divide each side by 9 to isolate the c. 9x/9 cancels out. 576/9 is 64. There. x = 64. The team will need to score an average of 64 points in their remaining games in order to reach their goal.
