Question

In a basketball game, the two teams scored a total of 210 points. the home team won by 20 points how many points did the home team score?

Answer 1

The points scored by home team = 115 points

Explanation:

Let the home team scored x points and the other team scored y points

In a basketball game, the two teams scored a total of 210 points

⇒ x + y = 210 ........(1)

Also, the home team won by 20 points

⇒ x - 20 = y .......(2)

Now, after solving both the equations (1) and (2), We get

x = 115 and y = 95

Therefore, The points scored by home team = 115 points
