Given:
k = the points Kayla scored
251 = the points Emily scored
k = 3 more than twice the number of points kayla scored
from the given info we can write and equation to solve for k
3 + 2k = 251
First subtract 3 from both sides of the equal sign
-3 + 3 + 2k = 251 - 3
2k = 248
next solve for k by dividing both sides of the equal sign by 2
2k/2 = 248/2
k = 124
