Question

Mitch and Tom are playing a video

game. Mitch has eight less than triple
the points that Tom has. If Mitch has 79
points, how many points does Tom
have?

Answer 1

21.75 I think

Explanation:

3x-8 = Mitch

x = Tom

3x -8 + x = 79

4x - 8 = 79

add eight to both sides

4x = 87

divide both sides by 4

x = 21.75
