Will averages18 points a game. He currently has 483 points. Tom averages 21 points a game, and has scored 462 so far this season. How many more games will it take for them both to have the same number of points? Write and solve an equation for this problem.

wills score = 483 + 18x

Tom's score = 462 + 21x      where 'x' = number of games

 

When will they be equal?

 

483 + 18x  = 462 + 21x

21 = 3x

x=7    more games and they will be equal
