Question

(PLEASE HELP) Sadie and Connor both play soccer. Connor scored 2 times as many goals as Sadie. Together they scored 9 goals. Could Sadie have scored 4 goals? Why or why not?

A. Yes, because 4 goals is less than the total number of goals scored.
B. Yes, because 4 goals is less than the number of goals Connor scored.
C. No, because 4(2) ≠ 9.
D. No, because 4(2) + 4 ≠ 9.

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

Okay so 3x3= 9

If Connor scored 2 times as many as Sadie, he scored 6 points and if you add Sadie's goal(s) (which would be 3) 6+3=9
