Sarah made 12 more free throws than Connie. How many free throws did Connie make if Sarah made 72?

Let x resemble the amount of free throws Connie made. We can write an equation resembling the problem.

x - 12 = 72

Solve for x.

x + 12 = 72

~Subtract 12 to both sides

x + 12 - 12 = 72 - 12

~Simplify

x = 60

Therefore, Connie made 60 free throws.

Best of Luck!
