Question

A soccer team scores 12 points in 5 matches. They scored the same number of points in each of their first 3 matches and one more point in each of their last 2. How many points did they score in each match?

Answer 1

2 points the first 3 matches then 3 points the last 2 matches

Explanation:

12 points in 5 matches and the first 3 are all the same then the other 2 increased by 1 point

They got 2 points the first 3 matches then 3 points the last 2 matches

2 + 2 + 2 (first 3 matches) = 6

3 + 3 (last 2 matches) = 6

6 + 6 = 12
