(1/6) x + 2 = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Let x be the number of points scored by the team.

Given Joe has scored 2 points more than one sixth of the point scored bynthe team

Step 2:

Based on the above given information the equation which gives the points scored by Joe is as follows:

(1/6) x + 2

Given that Joe has scored 10 points, we have

(1/6)x + 2 = 10

Step 3:

When we solve the above equation for x , we get the total number of points scored by the team
