Answer:

222 = score in 2nd game

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = score in 1st game

3/4(x) + 30 = score in 2nd game

x + 3/4(x) + 30 = 478         Multiply thru by 4 to eliminate the fraction

4x + 3x + 120 = 1912

7x + 120 = 1912

7x = 1792

x = 256

3/4(x) + 30 = 3/4(256) + 30

= 192 + 30

222 = score in 2nd game

Check:  222 + 256 = 478
