@Biswaji.

it means ; 10x3.2+40x(x)=282.
so,
32+40x=282,
40x=282-32,
40x=250,
x=250/40,
x=6.25.

For 1st 10 over:
3.2=(y/10).

Let y be the run.
y= 32 runs in 10 over.

For next 40 over:
x=(y+282)/50.

This match is talking about 1 day match which is of 50 overs. Also, 10+40=50.

Put value of 'y'
x=(32+282)/50,
x=6.28~6.25(ans).

Hope you understand.

3.2*10=32.
282-32=250.
250÷40=6.25.
