Answer:

39 touchdowns and 13 fieldgoals

Explanation:

Let t= touchdowns

f = fieldgoals

They scored 35 times

t+f = 35

Touchdown is 7 pts and fieldgoal is 3 pt

7t+3f = 193

Multiply the first equation by-7

-7t -7f =-245

Add this to the second equation

-7t -7f =-245

7t+3f = 193

----------------------

-4f =-52

Divide by -4

-4f/-4 = -52/-4

f = 13

Now we can find t

t+f = 35

t+13 = 52

Subtract 13 from each side

t+13-13 =52-13

t =39
