Question

During 2005 football season team tackle beat team sack by 27 points if their combined scores totaled 75 find the individual scores

Answer 1

Team tackle had 51 points & Team sack had 24 points.

Explanation:

Team tackle = t

Team sack = t-27

total = 75

To find team tackle's points:

t + t - 27 = 75

2t = 75 + 27

2t = 102

t = 102 /2

t = 51 points

To find team sack's points:

51 - 27 = 24 points

51 + 24 = 75
