During the 2005 football season, Team Tackle beat Team Sack by 25 points. If their combined scores totaled 45, find the individual learn scores.

Answer 1

m Let's use the variable, s , to represent Team Sack's score.

Then we can express Team Tackle's score as : s + 25

Now we ca create an equation for their total scores and solve for Team Sack's score first:

Team Sack + Team Tackle = Total Score

s + s + 25 = 45

Now combine like teams and use inverse operations to solve for s:

2s + 25 = 45

2s + 25 - 25 = 45 - 25

2s = 20

s = 10 points

Team Sack scored 10 points .

Team Tackle scored 10 + 25 = 35 points
