Question 922585
Let x = score on 6th game


We have these 6 scores: 10, 14, 8, 18, 11, x


Add them up: (10+14+8+18+11+x)


Divide by 6: (10+14+8+18+11+x)/6


Set that quotient equal to 13, the average we want: (10+14+8+18+11+x)/6 = 13


-------------------------------------------------------



Now solve for x



(10+14+8+18+11+x)/6 = 13



10+14+8+18+11+x = 13*6



10+14+8+18+11+x = 78



61+x = 78



x = 78-61



x = 17



The team must score <font color="red">17</font> points to average 13 points per game (over the 6 games played).
