Question

David's bowling score is 6 less than 3 times Aaron's score. The sum of their scores is 214. Find the score of each student. Use the variable a for Aaron's score.

plz help​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let aron's variable be = a

Let davids variable be( 6 less tan 3 times aron) = 3×a-6

Thier sum is =214

So,

3×a-6 + a = 214

3a -6 +a = 214

(transpose)

3a + a = 214 + 6

4a = 220

a = 220/4

a= 55

Thus,aron's score is = 55

And davids score is (3×a-6) = 3×55-6 = 159

Checking,

Aron score + david score = 214

55 + 159 = 214

SO, ITS CORRECT
