Michael averages 5 three-pointers in his first 4 basketball games. How many does he need to score at his 5th game in order to bring his average to 6 three-pointers per game?

10

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to understand this is not the shortest way.

Give Michael 4 fives and then add an x.

5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + x

Now divide by 5 and equate that to 6

(5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + x)/5 = 6              

Combine the left side

(20 + x)/5 = 6

Multiply by 5

(20 + x) = 6*5

20 + x = 30

Subtract 20 from both sides

x = 30 - 20

x = 10

He needs 10 three - pointers to average 6

i think it would be 43 movies that would have to be watched.

step-by-step explanation:

think about it. for the second plan, every month is 8 dollars. 8 x 12= 96. so thats the number for the second plan. now for the first plan, its annual meaning you have to pay 10 dollars every year. so now you have to get an equivalent amount of 86 since 96-10=86. 86 divided by 2 since every movie costs 2$ then you would have to watch 43 movies a year to get the same as the second plan. i really hoped this . have a wonderful day as well!
