Answer:

Harry has a score of 30

Explanation:

Let us represent their scores as:

Nathan = x

Harry = y

Jack = z

At the end of a football season a coach is adding up everyone's scores

Nathan has scored 11 more than harry

x = y + 11

Harry has scored 10 more then jack.

y = z + 10

z = y - 10

If the total of their scores is 91

x + y+ z = 91

y + 11 + y + y - 10 = 91

3y + 1 = 91

3y = 91 - 1

3y = 90

y = 90/3

y = 30

Since Harry's score is represented as y, Harry has a score of 30
