Problema Solution
Darla scored twice as many points as the combined scores of Mary and Ken. Darla scored 88 points. Mary earned 20 points. How many points did Ken score?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let x = the points Ken scored.
88 = 2(x + 20)
44 = (x + 20)
44 - 20 = x
24 = x
Ken scored 24 points
