a variable and write an expression for each column of your
table. In the first three football games of the season, Carlos gained three times as many yards as Alston. Travis gained ten yards
more than Carlos. Altogether, the three players gained a total
of 430 yards. How many yards did Carlos gain?

Answer 1

c=3a=180

Explanation:

a+3a+3a+10=430

7a=420

a=60

c=3a=180
