Billy, kip, and patrick earned a combined 14 points during their team's game. billy earned 5 points and kip earned 6 points. which of the following equations can be used to determine how many points patrick earned? 5 + 6 = 14 + y 5y + 6 = 14 6y + 5 = 14 5 + 6 + y = 14

Well, we can find the direct answer by taking Billy and Kip's points and subtracting it from the total combined points. This will give us 11, which means Patrick earned 3 points. 

The equation we can use to represent this is 5 + 6 + y = 14.

1. 5 + 6 + y = 14
2. 11 + y = 14
3. y = 14 - 11
4. y = 3

Hopefully, this helps! =)
