Answer:We must get more than 7 digs in the remaining 5 games to break record of 26.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given situation: - Let x represents the number of digs which we must get in the remaining 5 games to break your record, and we have 19 digs for our current volleyball season.

To break previous record of 26 digs in a season, we have to get more than 26 i. e. 19 digs added to x must be greater than 26

⇒x+19 ≥ 26

⇒x≥26-19⇒x≥7

Therefore, we must get more than 7 digs in the remaining 5 games to break record of 26.
