Question

the season?

Answer 1

The total number of games played during the season is 54. Thomas has scored 19 points in his last game, so the total number of points he has scored in the season is 19 + (18 x (number of games - 1)). This equation can be rearranged to solve for the number of games: (19 + 35) / 18 = 54 / 18 = 3.
