Kiran scored 223 fewer points in a computer game than Tyler. Kiran scored 409 points. Which equation would Kiran use to determine how many points, t, Tyler scored?

Answer:
[tex]t-223=409[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Kiran scored 223 fewer points in a computer game than Tyler, Tyler's score can be represented as:
[tex]k+223=t[/tex], where [tex]t[/tex] is Tyler's score and [tex]k[/tex] is Kiran's score.
Since Kiran scored 409 points, we can set [tex]k=409[/tex]:
[tex]409+223=t[/tex].
Re-arranging this, we get:
[tex]\fbox{$t-223=409$}[/tex].
