Question

Desert Vista Varsity Football beat Basha by 10 points. The total scores from both teams was 48 points. What did each team score?

Answer 1

Basha scored 19 points and DVVF scored 29.

Explanation:

let b = Basha's score

we know that DVVF beat Basha by 10 points which means they got 10 points more than Basha

hence DVVF's score = b+10

we know together they add up to 48

so b+(b+10)=48

2b+10=48

subtract 10 on both sides

2b=38

divide by 2 on both sides

b=19

DVVF=b+10

DVVF=19+10

Desert Vista Varsity Football scored 29 points and Basha scored 19.
