Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request in Swahili. Please answer in Swahili.

### Instruction:
Jeremy loves to play Scrabble.  He once played a three-letter word on a triple word score to earn thirty points.  If before the word score was tripled, the first and third letters were each valued at one point apiece, how much was the middle letter valued at before the word score was tripled?

### Response:
 Kwa kuwa alama ya neno baada ya kuongezwa mara tatu ilikuwa ni alama thelathini, basi alama ya neno kabla ya kuongezwa mara tatu ilikuwa ni 30/3=<<30/3=10>>10 alama.
Ikiwa kabla ya alama ya neno kuongezwa mara tatu, herufi ya kwanza na ya tatu ilikuwa na thamani ya alama moja kila moja, basi thamani ya herufi ya katikati ilikuwa ni 10-1-1=<<10-1-1=8>>8 alama.
