Tracy made three times the goals Nick made during the soccer season. Write an equation that shows the relationship between the number of goals Tracy made and n, the number of goals Nick made. Which equation would fit this problem?

3 + n = 12
3n = 12
n/3 = 12
n - 3 = 12

The answer is 3n=12 because Tracy’s number of goals has to be 3 times as much as Nick’s. 3n would be Tracy’s goals times N=Nick’s goals. How ever much nick got you multiply by 3. Hope this helps or even makes any sense.
