To find the average number of points Pedro scored per game, we need to solve the given equation for \( y \) (the total number of points) in terms of \( x \) (the number of games).
The equation is:
\[ 4y = 104x \]
To find \( y \), we can divide both sides of the equation by 4:
\[ y = \frac{104x}{4} \]
Calculating the right side:
\[ y = 26x \]
Now, to find the average points per game, we can consider how many points he scores on average for each game. Since \( y \) is the total points scored and \( x \) is the number of games, the average points per game (APG) can be represented as:
\[ APG = \frac{y}{x} = \frac{26x}{x} = 26 \]
Thus, Pedro averaged 26 points per game.
