Martin has scored an average of 12 points per game this season Game 1 he scored 8 points, game 2 he scored 11 points, game 3 he scored 12 points, and game 4 he scored 16 points. Use numbers from the box (2,3,4,5,8,11,12,13,16,n) to write an equation that can be used to find out how many points Martin scored in game 5. Then solve the equation.

Show work.

13

Yes, the answer is indeed 13.

Let's solve the equation you wrote:

(8 + 11 + 12 + 16 + n) / 5 = 12

47 + n = 60

n = 13

Therefore, Martin scored 13 points in game 5.

the average of 5 numbers is their sum/5

So, now you know that

(sum)/5 = 12

So he scored 12 points in Game 5?

No. how did you get that? Just a guess?

(8+11+12+16+n)/5=12

I just have 23

THIS ISENT THE ASNWER I SREACHED FOR

13

To find out how many points Martin scored in game 5, we need to use the given information about his average points per game and his scores in the first four games.

We know that Martin has scored an average of 12 points per game this season.

Let's create an equation using this information:

(8 + 11 + 12 + 16 + n) / 5 = 12

In this equation, n represents the number of points Martin scored in game 5.

Now, let's solve the equation step by step:

1. Simplify the left side of the equation:
(47 + n) / 5 = 12

2. Multiply both sides of the equation by 5 to remove the denominator:
47 + n = 60

3. Subtract 47 from both sides of the equation:
n = 60 - 47

4. Simplify the right side of the equation:
n = 13

Therefore, Martin scored 13 points in game 5.
