Question

Sue scored a total of 35 points in two games she scored 6 times as many points in the second game as in the first how many more points did she score in the second game

Answer 1

Lets make an equation:

`x+6x=35` where x=amount of points scored in the first game
Add up all the x's and you get
`7x=35`
Solve for x

`7x/7=35/7`

`x=5`
The question asks the score for the second game and the score for the second game is 6 times as much as the first
Therefore, we know that in the equation
`x+6x=35`
that 6x is the second equation
"Plug" in "x" for 6x where
`x=5`

`6*5=30`
Sue scored 30 points in the second game
