Question 247768: Is there a 3rd grade way to solve this equation?
In a game of baseball one team gets 8 more points than the other. The total score is 16. what was each teams score? I say (x+8)+x=16 therefore x=4, other team get 12. I don't know if 3rd graders routinely know alegbra. how would they be told to solve this? Thanks Answer by scott8148(6628) (Show Source):
