During basketball season, Jason scored 50 points. He scored thirteen fewer points than seven times Kevin did. How many points did Kevin score?
In one season, Ken scoured 22 soccer goals. He scored eight fewer than six times the number of goals scored by Paul. How many goals did Paul score?

Sagot :

Problem 1

k = Kevin's score

7k = seven times Kevin's score

7k-13 = thirteen fewer than the previous amount = Jason's score of 50

7k-13 = 50

7k = 50+13

7k = 63

k = 63/7

k = 9

Answer: Kevin scored 9 points

================================================

Problem 2

p = number of goals Paul scored

6p = six times the previous unknown number

6p-8 = eight fewer than the previous number = Ken's goal count (22)

6p-8 = 22

6p = 22+8

6p = 30

p = 30/6

p = 5

Answer: Paul scored 5 goals
