Grace was playing a word game where she scored points based on the different types of words that she put together. 

Grace played 5 words worth 13 points each. 

Grace played 4 words worth 15 points each. 

Grace played one word worth 22 points.

This equation can be used to find t, the total number of points Grace scored during the word game.

t = 5(13) + 4(15) + 22

What is the total number of points Grace scored during the word game?
