Step 1 : Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
• James' score on his 2nd test = 86
,• This was 18 points higher than his score on the 1st test
Step 2: Let's write the equation to find James' first test score, as follows:
Let x to represent James' first test score
x + 18 = 86
Step 3: Let's solve for x:
x + 18 = 86
x = 86 - 18 (You can calculate the result, Ingrid)
Step 4: James received (the result you calculated) points on his first test
