Answer 1

If you played 2 game, one game you got -6 and ended with an average of 0, what does the other value have to equal

Answer 2

6?

Answer 3

okay, good

Answer 4

So how would you write that in an equation?

Answer 5

You had to solve for 6 so lets call that "X", ill give you a hint, one part could be (-6+x) "----"=0

Answer 6

if you want an average of two scores, what do you divide by?

Answer 7

-6+6=0?

Answer 8

yes but that doesnt account for taking an average of the two scores.

Answer 9

So your saying?...

Answer 10

Would it be. -6+6=0?

Answer 11

if you want an average of two score, you divide by 2.

Answer 12

so you would identify variable X to represent the score on the first day making the equation (-6+x)/2=0
