Answer: 5t = 400-105

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t= Number of three–pointers Marissa has to average over the next 5 days to reach her goal. .

Goal = 400 three–pointers every week.

Marissa has already shot  = 105 three–pointers

Remaining shots to achieve target (5t) = Goal - (Marissa has already shot)

i.e. 5t = 400-105  (required equation)

⇒ 5t = 295

⇒ t = 59

hence, she need to make 59 shots per day for next 5 days.
