Abasketball player has already scored 56 points in a game. the team record for points in a game is 72. which equation would allow you to find out how many more points the player needs to tie the record?
a. 72 + x = 56
b. 56 − 72 = x
c. 56 + x = 72
d. 56 + 72 = x

C. 56 + x =72 because the team player already scored 56 points you would need to add an unknown amount of points in this case x to find out how many points you need in order to reach 72 points and if you are curious how many points you need in order to get to 72 you need 16 points.
