\begin{tabular}{l} 4. Ramone took the SAT twice. He scored 1340 \\ on his second try, which was 190 points \\ higher than his first score. Find his first score. \\ Equation \\ \hline\end{tabular}

To find Ramone's first SAT score, we can set up a simple equation. Let \( x \) represent his first score. According to the information given, his second score was 190 points higher than his first score. Therefore, we can express his second score as: \[ x + 190 = 1340 \] Now, to find \( x \), we can subtract 190 from both sides: \[ x = 1340 - 190 \] Calculating that gives us: \[ x = 1150 \] So, Ramone's first SAT score was 1150.
