Question

i dont know how to solve this

Answer 1

score of Team Sack = x

score of Team Tackle=x+12

 

x+x+12 =30

2x =18

 

x=9

 

score of Team Sack = x =9 points
score of Team Tackle=x+12 =9+12 =21 points

Answer 2

If team Sack scored x points

Team Tackle scored x + 12 points

 

x + x + 12 = 30

2x + 12 = 30

2x = 18

x = 9

x + 12 = 21

 

Team Sack scored 9 points

Team Tackle scored 21 points
