Answer: Required equation will be 'x+56=72'.
And Number of more points the players needs to tie the record is 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of points the player needs to tie the record be 'x'.
Number of points a basketball player has already scored = 56
Number of points the team record in a game = 72
According to question, we have
[tex]x+56=72[/tex]
So, we will solve for 'x'.
[tex]x+56=72\\\\x=72-56\\\\x=16[/tex]
Hence, required equation will be 'x+56=72'.
And Number of more points the players needs to tie the record is 16.
