number of additional shots on goal to score 3 more goals:______

Answer 1

The number of additional shots on goal to score 3 more goals is 36

Explanation:Let

x ----> the number of goals scored

y ---> the number of shots on goal

we know that

----> equation A

so

For x=3

substitute the value of x and solve for y

therefore

The number of additional shots on goal to score 3 more goals is 36

Answer 2

The number of additional shots on goal to score 3 more goals is 36

Explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of goals scored

y ---> the number of shots on goal

we know that

`(x)/(y)=(4)/(48)` ----> equation A

so

For x=3

substitute the value of x and solve for y

`(3)/(y)=(4)/(48)`

`y=(48)/(4)(3)`

`y=36`

therefore

The number of additional shots on goal to score 3 more goals is 36
