Question

in their last basketball game becky scored twice as many point as Man. Together they scored 42 points. How many points did becky scored?

Answer 1

She scored 28 points. 

Answer 2

She scored 28

Step-by-step explanation:

x= Man's score

2x= Becky's score (because it is the double)

x + 2x= 42 (the total score)

3x=42

x= 42/3

x=14

Therefore:

Man: 14

Becky: 28

14+28= 42
