a basketball player practices 2 hours a day monday through friday . how many hours must he practice saturday and sunday combined if he wants to practice an average ( arithmetic mean ) of 3 hours a day for the 7 day week ?
total number of hours practiced mon through fri : 5 * 2 = 10 total number of hours that will be practiced in a 7 day week considering 3 hours a day average : 7 * 3 = 21 thus 21 - 10 = 11 hours still need to be practiced ( on sat and sun combined ) d
subtract(multiply(3, 7), multiply(add(2, 3), 2))
