Question

Marcus passed for 16 yards in the first half of the football game. He passed for a total of 49 yards in the entire game. What was Marcus’s total passing yardage in the second half? Write equations to represent and solve the problem

Answer 1

`\bold{ANSWER:}`

• Let's assume that Marcus passed for "x" yards in the second half of the football game.
The problem states that Marcus passed for 16 yards in the first half and a total of 49 yards in the entire game. Therefore, we can set up the following
equation:

16+ x = 49

- To find the total passing yardage in the second half, we need to solve for "x" in this equation.
