Question

Sanjee scored twice as many points as treen.cole scored 12 more points then sanjee.together they scored 992 points. How many points did treen score

Answer 1

Treen scored 196 points

Explanation:

Since we are solving for Treen and everyone else is based off of his score, we will let him be "x." So...

Treen = x

Sanjee = 2x ("twice as many as Treen...")

Cole = 2x + 12 ("12 more points than Sanjee" who equals 2x)

All together = 992

So, putting together all that we've gathered, we can make a full equation!

(x) + (2x) + (2x + 12) = 992

We can subtract 12 from both sides and combine every "x" in the same step to get...

5x = 980

The last step is to divide both sides by 5 to get the answer,

x = 196,

and since x is a synonym for Treen, we can say, "Treen scored 196 points."

Hope this helps!
