Question

During the 2005 football season team tackle the team sack by eight points if the combine scores total of 26 find the individual team scores

Answer 1

Team sack = 9

Team tackle = 17

Explanation:

To start with, we'd assume that

Let x = the points scored by Team Sack

Let x + 8 = the points scored by Team Tackle

x + x + 8 = 26

So, go further and solve mathematically

2x + 8 = 26

if we subtract 8 from both sides, we have

2x = 18

Next, we then divide both sides by 2. So that,

x = 18/2

x = 9

Since we assumed the total points for Team Sack to be x, then Team Sack scored 9 points while Team Tackle scored x + 8 points, and that is 17
