Answer:
Equation is 10 = (x/6) + 2. Value of x is 48.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume points scored by team is x.
Now, Score of Joe is 10 which is 2 more then (1/6) points scored by team. i.e. (x/6) + 2
now LHS of the equation is 10.
RHS is (x/6) + 2.
LHS = RHS,
10 = (x/6) + 2.
Subtracting by 2 on both sides will give,
8 = (x/6)
Hence x = 8*6 = 48.
