Michael averages 5 three-pointers in his first 4 basketball games. How many does he need to score at his 5th game in order to bring his average to 6 three-pointers per game?

10

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to understand this is not the shortest way.

Give Michael 4 fives and then add an x.

5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + x

Now divide by 5 and equate that to 6

(5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + x)/5 = 6              

Combine the left side

(20 + x)/5 = 6

Multiply by 5

(20 + x) = 6*5

20 + x = 30

Subtract 20 from both sides

x = 30 - 20

x = 10

He needs 10 three - pointers to average 6
