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