Question

Team A and team B play in a competition

team A has twelve more points than team B
team A has five times as many points as team B
how many points does each team have

Answer 1

A = 15

B = 3

Explanation:

Since Team A has 12 more points than team B, then,

A - 12 = B

A = B + 12 ( equation 1 )

team A has 5 times as many points as team B, so,

5B = A. ( equation 2 )

Substitute equation 1 into equation 2

A = B + 12

5B = B + 12

5B - B = 12

4B = 12

B = 3

we'll substitute the answer into equation 2

5B = A

5(3) = A

A = 15

I hope this helps :D

have a nice day dear...
