Complete Question
The lions and the tigers played a football game. The Lions scored three more than three times the number of points the Tigers scored. The total number of points scored by both teams is 31. How many points were scored by each team?
Answer:
The number of points scored by the Lions = 24
The number of points scored by the Tigers = 7
Explanation:
Let the number of points scored by the lion = l
The number of points scored by the tiger = t
The Lions scored three more than three times the number of points the Tigers scored.
l = 3 + 3(t)
The total number of points scored by both teams is 31.
= l + t = 31
3 + 3t + t = 31
4t = 31 - 3
4t = 28
t = 28/4
t = 7 points
Note:
l + t = 31
I = 31 - t
l = 31 - 7
l = 24 points
The number of points scored by the Lions = 24
The number of points scored by the Tigers = 7
